DHCPv6 Server + Router Advertisement + AD DC

Question

So i'm trying to basically figure out a way that I can force nodes in my network to get my local ipv6 dns server (which is also a domain controller) so right now if i disable router advertisement the dhcp server works but it won't assign a gateway or dns server, if i enable router advertisement on my main router it will assign the dns server from hurracane electric (which im using for IPv6 connectivity on this particular network) and their gateway so if i try to resolve anything to my local domain over ipv6 it doesn't work.

It seems i can't set a DNS server or default gateway with DHCPv6 Server on windows server 2016 datacenter, am i missing something or is this how it is by design? I'm not sure what to do to make my machines get the local dns ip instead of the one assigned by RA other than manually setting each machine individually and then resetting once the machine leaves the network which completely defeats the purpose of a dhcp server.

Hi ,

Welcome to our new Microsoft Q&A Platform.

Yes, you can definitely set the local DNS server IP address by DHCPv6.

Please perform the following steps:

1. Right click Server Options under IPv6 on the DHCP console, then choose Configure Options.

2. Choose 00023 to add a new IPv6 address, then click OK

By setting this your DNS server should be assigned successfully.
