Hi All,<br />
<br />
I have begun deploying OpenDNS to clients and have now come across the issue where if IPv6 is enabled on the domain/lan/network OpenDNS will not work.<br />
<br />
My question is this, what is the best way to disable IPv6 across the network and also are there any potential pitfalls I need to avoid, I have read a few scary stories of DNS/AD not working well together after removal of IPv6 and maybe even server not booting at all.<br />
<br />
Thanks<br />
