When this method runs, it searches the local Active Directory forest, each trusted forest, and each additional forest that you configure in the Active Directory Forests node of the Configuration Manager console.
Use Active Directory Forest Discovery to :
* Discover Active Directory sites and subnets, and then create Configuration Manager boundaries based on those network locations.
* Identify supernets that are assigned to an Active Directory site. Convert each supernet into an IP address range boundary.
* Publish to Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) in a forest when publishing to that forest is enabled. The specified Active Directory Forest Account must have permissions to that forest.
You can manage Active Directory Forest Discovery in the Configuration Manager console. Go to the Administration workspace and expand Hierarchy Configuration.
Actions for Active Directory Forest Discovery are recorded in the following logs :
* All actions, except actions related to publishing, are recorded in the ADForestDisc.Log file in the <InstallationPath>\Logs folder on the site server.
* Active Directory Forest Discovery publishing actions are recorded in the hman.log and sitecomp.log files in the <InstallationPath>\Logs folder on the site server.
