    Hello,

    Uncertain whether you've had a chance to review this article: IPv6 for the Windows Administrator: Why you need to care about IPv6 - Microsoft Community Hub

    The article provides a strong case for why administrators should care about IPv6 and not disable it. Microsoft's guidance, as highlighted in the article, is to enable and support IPv6 rather than disabling it.

    Here's a summary of the pros and cons of enabling or disabling IPv6 on domain controllers and servers, based on the discussions online and Microsoft's recommendations:

    Advantages of Enabling IPv6:

    1.IPv6 works well with new technology and keeps your network compatible with the latest advancements.

    2.It prepares your network for changes because IPv6 is the way forward.

    1. It's like having both IPv4 and IPv6 on standby, which is smart.
    2. Sometimes, IPv6 makes things run smoother and safer.

    Disadvantages of Enabling IPv6

    It might seem a bit more complicated, especially if you're not used to it. In some cases, it can reduce confusion during troubleshooting.

    Regards,
