It's not a secret, that
IPv6 has some "issues". When I've been in Seattle, at last MVP summit, a lot of
IT professionals said that, and all of them recommended to disable
IPv6 on
Windows 2008 or / and
Vista machines.
Kevin Reeuwijk from "
Innovative Technology Weblog" posted a very good article;
Outlook Anywhere is ‘broken’ on IPv6 in Windows Server 2008.
So, if you run
Exchange 2007 on
Windows Server 2008 and want to use
Outlook Anywhere (aka RPC over HTTP) you probably get a problem. It would not work if the
RPC-over-HTTP Proxy and the
Exchange Mailbox installed on the same
Windows 2008 Server.
To make the long story short, simply unselect IPv6 from the properties of your NIC
AND (it's very important) make a changes to the
HOSTS file. Simply open up your
hosts file and make the following changes:
- Comment out the line “:::1 localhost”
- Add the following two lines:
This will resolve all queries for your computer’s name to its IPv4 address, effectively disabling the use of IPv6 for self-communication. You can confirm that this works by doing a “telnet localhost 6004″.
