Script to disable IPv6 Components

  • Article

While most documentation you may come across states to not disable IPv6 components on Windows 7 or Windows 2008 servers, you may have instances where disabling IPv6 components may become necessary.

If you have to disable IPv6 components, the procedure is pretty straight forward and is documented in KB929852.

I happened to be working with a customer who had to do the same and working with quite a few servers, it can easily go from being a simple task to a big undertaking from time perspective. Naturally, there had to be a script for that!
