Configuration Naming Context
The Configuration NC is the primary
repository for configuration information for a forest. Every domain
controller in the forest replicates the Configuration NC, which is
why it is considered forest-wide. The root of the Configuration NC is
found in the Configuration container, which is a subcontainer of the
forest root domain. For example, the mycorp.com forest would have a
Configuration NC located at
cn=configuration,dc=mycorp,dc=com.
Table 3-2 contains a list of the default top-level containers found in the Configuration NC.
