I'm trying to figure out how to get rid of autoconfiguration and auto-anything in IPv6.

I don't want to expose my MAC addresses. I want to have static IP addresses on my servers, and I want to decide which gateway they use.

I want to have DHCP reservations for all my workstations and I want to define in the DHCP scope (or elsewhere) all the networking parameters for the systems on the network.

I have a simple network with one LAN one DMZ and one firewall/router. It is not appropriate that the firewall/router is in charge of everything on the network. In case of a crisis it would get unplugged but my LAN has to continue to function without it.

I have the domain level at 2012, all the DCs are 2012 and the systems are all Window s7 or 8 and the servers at least 2008R2.

Can anyone help?

Please see that: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/f1d05d85-7f2c-410d-8ca8-10367b522fbb/disable-autoconfiguration-of-ipv6

If your DHCP server is providing IPv6 addresses and you would like to use IPv4 IP addreses, you can disable that.

Please also see that: http://blogs.dirteam.com/blogs/paulbergson/archive/2011/06/30/configuring-ipv4-as-default-over-ipv6.aspx

Disabling IPv6 on servers is not recommended as it should be enabled.

I don't want IPv4.

I will read again about IPv6. My basic issue with IPv6 is that is seems designed to give (automatically) all devices access to everything and I don't want that. I don't want anyone to be able to access my servers, I don't want anyone to be able to add a router to my network.

Any new device should not by default have access to anything until I set it up.

I don't want my firewall/router which is exposed to the Internet giving out addresses or even advertising itself.

I cannot find a coherent overview of how to do this.

Hello,

this is off topic for Directory services, i suggest to ask this in the Networking forum instead http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/home#forum=winserverNIS&filter=alltypes&sort=lastpostdesc&content=Search

Sorry I never know which forum I am in nowadays, not enough differentiation in the fonts and colours. I have to look for 30 seconds to see where I am and if I post after reading a similar question, I can quite easily post in the wrong place.

The form name looks too much like a functional operation. It could be in orange like the forums in the tabs at the top

Sorry to keep this alive, perhaps there is a forum use forum

How do I know I am in the networking forum when I look at this screen?

Hello,

please see the following 2 screen shots about the view change you can make:
