Active Directory tree (AD tree)
Contributor(s): Ben Rubenstein
An Active Directory tree is a collection of domains within a Microsoft Active Directory network.

Domains within the Active Directory tree structure have a transitive trust relationship, meaning that if a domain joins a tree, it automatically trusts all other domains in the tree.
