Completely Disable IPv6 in Win 2008
To completely disable IPv6 on a Windows Server 2008-based computer yourself, follow these steps:
Note The 0xffffffff value or the 4294967295 value disables all IPv6 components except for the IPv6 loopback interface.
- Open Registry Editor.
- Locate the following registry subkey: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip6\Parameters
- In the details pane, click New, and then click DWORD (32-bit) Value.
- Type DisabledComponents, and then press ENTER.
- Double-click DisabledComponents, and then type 0xffffffff in Hexadecimal or 4294967295 in Decimal.
Note The 0xffffffff value or the 4294967295 value disables all IPv6 components except for the IPv6 loopback interface.
