Follow the following steps to add the domain in already existing Forest.

To setup one single forest to hold multiple domains, all servers must be preconfigured for the network on the same subnet and avoid installing any roles. Begin it by setting up the Root Domain and DNS designation for the second domain but not as a child domain.
-
DCPROMO – for example Coley.local. Restart the system afterwards.
-
Go to DNS Manager. Expand Root Domain then right-click Forward Lookup Zones and then select Primary Zone followed by “All DNS servers running on domain controllers in this domain”.
-
Check “Store zone in Active Directory” and then enter Zone name like for example Coley2.local.
-
Select “Allow only secure dynamic updates” and then click Finish.
-
Right-click on the newly created DNS zone and then select New Delegation. This will give delegation to the other servers. Enter the name of the other server for the Delegated domain.
-
FQDN – for example server2.Coley2.local. After that, enter the IP address of the second server. After this, clicking Next will not resolve because it hasn’t been created yet and this is fine.
Next process is to install Active Directory on server 2. Setup the network adapter to use the DNS on server 1.
The last part is to create domain trust.
