Hi,

Does anyone know how to remove the the checkbox for IPv6 automatically?

I know how to disable IPv6 by the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip6\Parameters\DisabledComponents reg key.

But the checkbox is still selected, is there another key that is for this?

Thanks

Why would you want to do that?

According to me, i dont think that there is a way of disabling the checkbox unless u do it from the unattend file which I thought I would like to do, however:

1. Please consider that disabling IPv6 on 2008 might lead to odd behavioud with different services that you might run on top of the operating system which requires IPv6, for example FailOver Clustering which requires the presence of IPv6 or it will not work.

In the same time, I dont want users to see that they have an IPv6 address displayed on their boxes when we dont use + WMI reports back IPv6 setting (when enabled) which messes up our audit settings, to solve it I used the registry that u mentioned, that removed it from the ipconfig /all command, fixes our audit + but still present us with the possibility to install clusters and so on.
