3.5.1 Common Configuration

This section specifies the test setup that is used for most of the examples presented in section 4. The behavior of certain methods can be highlighted only by starting from a different state. The example section for such a method specifies the difference between the initial state used for that example and the state given here.

The configuration is a forest with two domains CONTOSO.COM (Forest Root Domain) and ASIA.CONTOSO.COM (Domain NC):

Forest: CONTOSO.COM
