Everyone,
We have a W2k8 R2 64-bit server, fully patched, VM, that
is showing a Deprecated IP address (results of ipconfig show below).
What I'm told is happening is that when this server tries to Telnet
(through a firewall), it is showing as coming from the deprecated
address. When I first looked at the server, it did have IPv6 enabled. It
has since been unbinded from the NIC and disabled via the registry. It
also had DHCP server running, so I eliminated that as well, since it is
not necessary anyway. There are no hidden additional NICs (checked
anyway, even though Deprecated shows under the same lone NIC as the
10.x.x.x address). Now, I know all about why/how a device configures
itself with a 169.254 address (as well as this address not being
routable), so this is driving me crazy! I can RDP into the server using
it's 10.x.x.x address, so it seems to me that "general" networking is
fine.
Anyone heard or seen of this before?
