Could not start Domain tool X a controller could not be found... or words to that effect

Problem: Had error "Naming information cannot be located because the spcified domain either does not exist or could not be contacted"

Platform: Windows 2022 Server Standard

Events: EventId 14550, DfsSvc - "The DFS Namespace service could not initialize cross forest trust information on this domain controller, but it will periodically retry the operation. ..."

Solution: Changed HKLM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Netlogon\Parameters\SysvolReady to 1. ... and it worked! No reboot needed.
