# Enumerating Forests

* See if your domain is in a forest

```
get-adforest

ApplicationPartitions : {DC=DomainDnsZones,DC=DANTE,DC=local, 
                        DC=ForestDnsZones,DC=DANTE,DC=local}
CrossForestReferences : {}
DomainNamingMaster    : DANTE-DC01.DANTE.local
Domains               : {DANTE.local}
ForestMode            : Windows2012R2Forest
GlobalCatalogs        : {DANTE-DC01.DANTE.local}
Name                  : DANTE.local
PartitionsContainer   : CN=Partitions,CN=Configuration,DC=DANTE,DC=local
RootDomain            : DANTE.local
SchemaMaster          : DANTE-DC01.DANTE.local
Sites                 : {Default-First-Site-Name}
SPNSuffixes           : {}
UPNSuffixes           : {}
```

* Look for the "Name" property in the output. If it returns a value, it means your domain controller is part of a forest

```
Get-ADDomainController -Filter *
