This post asks two questions, a primary and related question.
I have been told, perhaps erroneously, that it is wisest to keep IPV6 turned on, especially on newer versions of Windows Server. To the best of my knowledge, nothing in our Intranet takes advantage of IPV6.
My question is, what is the downside to unchecking IPV6 on the adapter configuration screen?
My second question is rhetorical. If these servers all have static IP4 addresses, then I am assuming it could screw things up if the IPV6 configuration is set up as DHCP, or does the Windows network just ignore that?
This mismatch is what I discovered today, and I just re-configured the IPV6 information to have an IPV6 static address for the adapter with the same DNS and gateway entries (represented as IPV6 addresses) as used for IPV4.
