The error:

The DFS Namespace service could not initialize cross forest trust
information on this domain controller, but it will periodically
retry the operation. The return code is in the record data.

Can be fixed by making the following changes in the registry:

1. Open the Windows registry editor “regedit”.
2. Navigate to “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetservicesDfs”.
3. Add NTDS to the list of “DependOnService”.
4. Create a DWORD with the name “DelayedAutostart” and give it a value of 1.

This forces the DFS Namespace service wait until Active Directory has been initialized.
