Fix Recommendation

Update the disaster recovery plans to include the AD hierarchy structure for domains with an Availability categorization of moderate or high.

Check Contents

Determine the Availability categorization information for the domain.
If the Availability categorization of the domain is low, this is NA.
If the Availability categorization of the domain is moderate or high, verify the organization's disaster recovery plans includes documentation on the AD hierarchy (forest, tree and domain structure).
(A chart showing forest hierarchy and domain names is the minimum suggested.)

If the disaster recovery plans do not include directory hierarchy information, this is a finding.
