Thank you, this is exactly the answer I was looking for (give the man a cigar!). I have assigned the static IPv4, but was at a loss what to do about the IPv6. Not to appear ungrateful, thank you also to all of the rest of you who replied; your answers helped me clarify where I need to go with this over the next few months.

If you do not have static IPv4 and IPv6 addresses assigned to your network adapters, a warning message might appear advising you to set static addresses for both of these protocols before you can continue. If you have assigned a static IPv4 address to your network adapter and your organization does not use IPv6, you can ignore this message and click, Yes, the computer will use a dynamically assigned IP address (not recommended). Important We recommend that you not disable the IPv6 protocol. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc753720(WS.10).aspx From: Jim von Stein [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, September 14, 2010 4:07 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: My first Win2008R2 Domain Server and IPv6 Total 2008 Server/IPv6 noob question here: I'm trying to bring up my first 2008 R2 domain server, and I hit a speed bump with IPv6; dcpromo (at least the GUI version) won't proceed without some sort of IPv6 address. 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).
