Question
Your network contains a single Active Directory domain. All servers run Windows Server 2008 R2. A DHCP server is deployed on the network and configured to provide IPv6 prefixes. You need to ensure that when you monitor network traffic, you see the interface identifiers derived from the Extended Unique Identifier (EUI)-64 address. Which command should you run?
Options
- Anetsh.exe interface ipv6 set global addressmaskreply=disabled
- Bnetsh.exe interface ipv6 set global dhcpmediasense=enabled

Explanation
Starting Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008 and Windows 7, to prevent address scans of IPv6 addresses based on the known company IDs of network adapter manufacturers, Windows by default generate random interface IDs for non-temporary autoconfigured IPv6 addresses, including public and link-local addresses. A public IPv6 address is a global address that is registered in DNS and is typically used by server applications for incoming connections, such as However, this can cause issues with some connection instances in which case you may need to disable this option. To prevent Windows from using Random Identifiers, 1. Click Start-search "cmd", right-click and choose "Run as Administrator". This should launch the command window withe elevated privileges. 2. Run the following command: C:\windows\system32> netsh interface ipv6 set global randomizeidentifiers=disabled At anytime later, you can enable this (if requierd) as follows: C:\windows\system32> netsh interface ipv6 set global randomizeidentifiers=enabled server-2008-vista/
