Change ip of adapter connected to the internal network in Direct Access

Question

I have manually configured ipv6 address on internal NIC of Direct Access Server. Instead of using that ip Direct Access uses auto config ipv6 address. So Adapter connected to the internal network is using wrong ipv6 address. How can I change it to use manually configured ip. There was some command for that but i can't find it.

@Petri Siiskonen Hi,

Thank you for posting in Q&A!

After my research for related information and discussion with my team, following are my suggestions:

DA client located in the Internet use ipv6 to connect to DA server. Then DA server will connect to the internal host with ipv4 or ipv6.
However, DirectAccess does not necessarily require connectivity to the IPv6 Internet or native IPv6 support on internal networks.
Instead, it automatically configures and uses IPv6 transition technologies to tunnel IPv6 traffic across the IPv4 Internet (6to4, Teredo, IP-HTTPS) and across your IPv4-only intranet (NAT64 or ISATAP). For an overview of these transition technologies, see the following resources:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/remote/remote-access/directaccess/single-server-wizard/da-basic-plan-s1-infrastructure

Since ipv6 is used for the external client to communicate with DA server, so Usually, we will not configure a static IPv6 for the internal NIC of DA server. We just use the auto-config ipv6 address. So far I didn' find any related offical documents about configuring the internal ipv6 address on DA server unfortunately.

Hope you have a nice day!
