Removing ipv6 in vista

I have tried all that - it doesn't seem to connect at all - even when I disable everything as denoted in the error message 'an error occured while releasing interface Loopback Pseudo - Interface 1 - The system cannot find the file specified.

The operation faled as no adaptor is in the state permissible for the operationj What do I do now? It would be straightforward if it wasn't Vista! Similar threads N.

If the User Account Control dialog box appears, confirm that the action it displays is what you want, and then click Continue. Click Continue on UAC prompt. One is a link local address, which can only be reaching on the local network if you know the address. The address is created randomly by Windows systems, there if discovery is hard.

But when used with Active directory, it allows devices on the local network to communicate with each other. The second address is a global address used for communicating into the device, if your network is properly configured. The next address is a privacy address used to communicate out of the device and used by application such as web browsers.

This address is random address, which expires ever 7 days. The last is a multicast address. These addresses are not globally routable, but are inside an organization. Windows Vista and beyond, allows Stateful firewall on all hosts. Learn how to enable and configure them. That is a simple registry setting to disable. If it does not, then all an attacker need to do it turn on IPv6 and tunnels, now you have a problem!

The cost of disabling, then later re-enabling all the system for IPv6, will cast you 2x the operational cost. Are you justifying this to your boss, or just doing it? There are many new network and security features, in IPv6 to make it easier and faster to implement and manage your infrastructure. Go out and learn IPv6! Joe, thanks a lot for sharing your opinion in such a long comment. I can understand very well that it is part of your job to defend IPv6.

I am sorry, but your arguments didn't convince me. I am quite aware of the advantages of IPv6. My point is that most western companies don't benefit of supporting IPv6 at the moment. I am quite sure that those organizations who use IPv6 now will make certain that they can reach IPv4 networks for a very long time.

I also strongly disagree with your arguments concerning IPv6 security. It is an additional service. Therefore it certainly enlarges your network's attack surface. Administrators are busy people.

It doesn't make sense to invest time in configuring and securing IPv6 properly if your employer doesn't benefit from it right now. Hi Guys I have migrated my home domain from Server03 with Exchange 03 to Server08 with Exchange 07 and forgot how critical IPv6 really is for Exchange Upon boot Event Viewer was full of major AD errors.

Googling the errors pointed to major issues with A. I tried running ADPrep the Exchange 07 equivalent with no change. I eventually stumbled on a comment that mentioned IPv6 needed for Exchange Terry, where did you read this? I doubt somehow that Exchange requires IPv6. Even Microsoft writes : "If you are not using IPv6 in the Exchange environment, we recommend that you disable it.

If so, then you have to restart the DNS Server service. So obviously in this scenario it died horribly. Here is the link I saw that reminded me. I haven't read in detail. Based on the arguments presented no default installation of IPv6, our firewall allows for the "control" of IPv6 tunnels , would it be prudent to disable IPv6 on the Vista clients? Ronin, if you are unsure if you have services that require IPv6, you could just disable it on one machine and see whether everything still works.

The issue with Exchange Server and unchecked IPv6 is known. If you don't want to use the new protocol, you have to use the registry to disable it leache IPv6 checked. I dispute IPv6 being required for exchange I run an exchange environment for a multi-million dollar company and I have IPv6 disabled on every exchange server we run. Exchange can also be installed on Windows , and IPv6 isn't even installed on that OS by default.

In fact, until SP1 for exchange , you HAD to install it in a x64 server as wasn't supported yet. That shoots down the IPv6 requirement for that app. Also i don't really care if China doesn't have enough IPv4 addresses. IPv6 is not required for exchange nor We have a network running only IPv4 and all IPv6 is off due to our high level of security and everything works perfectly.
