IPV6 slowing thins down
Our company uses Direct Access. For this IPV6 has to be enabled. Everything works fine for users in our main site who have local access to our servers. The problem is with users in remote offices who connect over an IPV4 VPN. Most of the problem is with Exchange connections. It seems that when they start Outlook, it tries to connect over IPV6, fails then tries IPV4. This causes a delay in Outlook connecting to Exchange. It also frequently disconnects or doesn't update mail from the server. If I add an IPV4 entry to the host file, everything works great, but this is not the best solution. Any ideas?Mike Pietrorazio

Thanks, but the problem is not limited to Exchange, this is just one example. Connecting to file servers shows the same issue. There are no problems with our IPV6 implimaentation as everthing works great at the main site. I'm sure the IPV4 VPN is causing the problem. I'm just trying to find a workaround.Mike Pietrorazio

Hi, There may be conflicting between Exchange and IPV6, I think it is better to post in Exchange Forum. http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en/exchange2010/threads Meanwhile, I find some related articles for your reference. I assume you are using Exchange 2010. Understanding IPv6 Support in Exchange 2010 http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg144561.aspx IPv6 Requirements in Exchange 2010 http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/exchange2010/thread/d0cade08-55e1-4748-be2b-7d5433b364ba IPv6 support in Exchange Server 2010 http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/exchange2010/thread/1de08c4c-8a54-4545-b962-25f28b30379e/ Best Regards, NikiPlease remember to click "Mark as Answer" on the post that helps you, and to click "Unmark as Answer" if a marked post does not actually answer your question.

Hi, Please check if the following articles are helpful. DirectAccess Workaround for reaching IPv4 address checking sites http://support.microsoft.com/kb/974080 UAG DirectAccess and IPv4 Only Networks http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/uag-directaccess-and-ipv4-only-networks.aspx I think the issue is not caused by client. It should be a networking issue from client to server via IPv4. I recommend posting in Server Forum to get more assistance. http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/winserverPN/threads Best Regards, NikiPlease remember to click "Mark as Answer" on the post that helps you, and to click "Unmark as Answer" if a marked post does not actually answer your question.
