How to get Forest and domain information

Q: We are small company and running two Windows 2012 r2 as domain controllers. We are planning to use Microsoft cloud services and will sync our active directory to Azure Active directory.

To answer some questions from the form sent to us, what are the Forest Name, Forest, site. I can search for the concepts, but can someone give me the example or where can I find them?

The article I read are example, forest name=forest.local, domain name is domain.local, Forest=corporate.local, domain=corporate.local, site=datacenter. I assume since we have only one forest and one domain, all forest name, forest, domain name and domain are the same, for example mydomain.com. The site is Default-First-Site-Name? Not sure.

A: Run PowerShell commands:

Get-ADForest

Get-ADDomain
