Windows 10 1607 IPv6 DHCP Clients


Noticed IPv6 DHCP was broken on all my Windows 10 clients after I upgraded to the anniversary edition (1607).  Had to run a couple powershell commands to get them pulling addresses:

Wired:

Set-NetIPInterface ethernet -AddressFamily ipv6 -RouterDiscovery Enabled
Set-NetIPInterface ethernet -AddressFamily ipv6 -ManagedAddressConfiguration Enabled

Wireless:

Set-NetIPInterface wi-fi -AddressFamily ipv6 -RouterDiscovery Enabled
Set-NetIPInterface wi-fi -AddressFamily ipv6 -ManagedAddressConfiguration Enabled

That’s it!

  1. Thanks for your help, but when i try this method,I failed.
    I run powershell as Admin.
    It responses,

    Interface WHERE ((InterfaceAlias LIKE ‘wi-fi’)) AND ((AddressFamily = 23)) 找不到任何匹配的 MSFT_NetIPInterface 对象。
    请验证查询参数,然后重试。

    • Change ‘wi-fi’ to whatever your interface name actually is. Mine are just the defaults “Ethernet” and “Wi-Fi”.
