Hello,

I have a Windows Server 2012 lab environment set up. In this I have one Domain Controller. Within this I am running Hyper-V. The network set-up seems to be perfect. However when I attempt to connect a virtual client to my physical domain controller it fails. The only time it doesn't fail is if I turn off IPv6 on the client machine. It doesn't matter if I turn it off on the server.

Thank you in advance,

Maksim Richards

Hi Maksim Richards,

Please tell us if you deployed IPV6 in the environment .

How did you connect a virtual client to DC ?  RDP ?

Hello Elton,

I have not implemented IPv6. I run hyper-v on the dc and connect through hyper-v virtual machine rdp on the localhost.

Thank you,

Hi Maksim R,

Maybe  you typed the FQDN in the RDP connection , actually the DNS can not resolve the host FQDN to a IPV6 address for the connection and then it failed.

Please try to ping Host name (not a domain name also please enable IPV6 ) from VM (enable IPV6) , the command like this : ping xxxx  -6

If ping can work , please try to just type the netbios name of Host in RDP connection .

 

Hope this helps

Best Regards

Hi Elton, You have me confused. I can connect to the virtual client PC on my DC but I cannot join the client to the domain deployed by my DC. Thank you for your help, Maksim R

Hi Maksim R,

Sorry for the misunderstanding .

Actually , this case is that you can not join a VM to Domain when the VM's IPV6 was enabled   , right ?

And I tested both enabled IPV6 the client with correct DNS IP , it still can join to the domain .

So strange  .

Hello,

This is still bugging me. I have tried reinstalling the DC with Hyper-V without success. I believe that their is a problem with my configuration but I cannot find for the life of me what it is. I will run through my setup:

I have a lab set up in my home for testing where I have 2 routers one is in the a separate subnet to the other. This is to make sure as not problems if a failure of my setup (which there seems to be).

When I configure it I start by changing the name of my server and then setting a static IPv4 address in adapter properties. Then setting other features like turning firewall off and IE configuration. The I install ADDS along with DHCP and DNS. I do not change any DNS settings but create a BASIC scope for DHCP with minimal setup. I install Hyper-V and then create a Virtual machine but still have the same problems. This is all I do. No other configurations.

Thank you for your support,

Maksim Richards

Hello,

I have an interesting development, after giving up with Hyper-V I tried with physical clients and now cannot join them to the domain without disabling IPv6 on the client PC.
