ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Solves the problem of creating a child domain within an existing forest.

Example playbook, creating a parent domain in a new forest and creating a child domain within the existing forest using a proposed within_forest parameter:

- hosts: dc01
  tasks:
  - name: Make parent domain
    win_domain:
      dns_domain_name: parentdomain.local
      safe_mode_password: Password123
    register: create_forest
  - name: Reboot upon promotion
    win_reboot:
      reboot_timeout: 1800
      post_reboot_delay: 15
    when: create_forest.reboot_required
- hosts: dc02
  tasks:
  - name: Make child domain
    win_domain:
      dns_domain_name: childdomain.parentdomain.local
      within_forest: parentdomain.local
      safe_mode_password: Password123
    register: create_domain
  - name: Reboot upon promotion
    win_reboot:
      reboot_timeout: 1800
      post_reboot_delay: 15
    when: create_domain.reboot_required

Transferred the issue to the microsoft.ad collection as that is where domain specific modules now live.

See https://github.com/jborean93/sansldap/blob/main/tests/integration/library/win_domain_child.ps1 when creating the new module for inspiration.
