We barely have a tree let alone a forest.

implemented if a forest is built as 2003 SP1. If you simply install SP1 the
value doesn't change.
Looks like they even updated this link, although the wording is atrocious.

Subject: [ActiveDir] Stupid question alert... where exactly
is the tombstone value set?

Okay so watching Eileen....
And question.... default on Windows 2003 is 60 days...
default on Windows 2003 sp1 is 180 days BUT.... many times I
know that these changes only occur on the SLIP/Clean install
versions of these OS's NOT on upgraded ones....see below as
to confirmation of this....
<btw...request please? When changes are made between SPs...
can we have a cheat sheet... a white paper of how to activate
all the versioning changes?>
Can someone help a SBSer who's googling.. uh..msnsearching on
where that value is set? I want to see what it is on my real
baby that got upgraded and see what it is on some test boxes
I have that are slip installed.

*Extended storage of deleted objects.* The default period
that a copy of a deleted object is retained in Active
Directory, called the tombstone lifetime, is extended from 60
days to 180 days. Longer tombstone lifetime decreases the
chance that a deleted object remains in the local directory
of a disconnected domain controller beyond the time when the
object is permanently deleted from online domain controllers.
The tombstone lifetime is not changed automatically when you
upgrade to Windows Server 2003 with SP1, but you can change
the tombstone lifetime manually after the upgrade. New
forests that are installed with Windows Server 2003 with SP1
have a default tombstone lifetime of 180 days. For more
information about tombstone lifetime, see How the Data Store
Works <http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=38339>.
