Hi all,

I have updated this based on the feedback. This is now two patches. I
also opted to simplify the domain command to NOT have the "pretty"
option names, rather we can use docs and --help strings to help explain
these values. This makes code and references to MS or other docs
easier.

I have also added man page references and tests to verify the behaviour
of these commands. I hope that in time we can expand these commands to
be able to configure much more, but it's a simple and good start.

Note, apply the forest patch first, then the domain patch.

I hope this helps!

Thanks,

William
