I know MSCS is one thing that requires it to be enabled. In general unless a customer has a requirement for the feature or an existing deployment, I disable IPv6. Once they have a deployment plan they can flip it on.

In fact, you will find more data out there suggesting it is disabled if not in use because it causes odd things to happen...

I haven't paid particularly close attention, and forgive me for posting without having all my ducks lined up, but aren't there some things that break by disabling IPv6?

My ISP isn't supporting it yet, I'm not using it internally yet. Am I better off removing IPv6 from the interface(s) or doing a ULA (even though I don't know what I'm doing or what I'll eventually want to be doing).
