It is NOT SUPPORTED to disable IPv6 in modern Microsoft OSes. I personally consider it a bug that Microsoft still allows it to be disabled. But I lost that bug-battle.

Especially in this isolated test domain. Microsoft and their code want IPv6, only support environments with it enabled, and will use it when it is enabled. If you disable it in your production environment, things may (and likely will) break in weird ways. Microsoft isn't known for handling corner cases well. If you disable it only in your test environment, you're making your test environment significantly different from your production environment. Why bother testing if you're not testing what you're actually going to do? -- Ben
