Server 2008 dcpromo Somchai 12/12/2008 8:17:01 AM I may be in the wrong forum with Server 2008 however, I cannot find anything 2008. My problem is that when I want to promote the server it always gives me an error saying that the IP is set to Dynamic. I clearly have set a Fix IP 192.168.0.1 and DNS 192.168.0.1. For some reason it doesn't accept the DNS. Where do I go wrong? Any clues would be appreciated.

Re: Server 2008 dcpromo joc 12/12/2008 11:27:02 AM If you have assigned a static IP address, then it is safe to ignore the message.

Re: Server 2008 dcpromo joc 12/12/2008 11:43:02 AM Just an update: you can safely ignore the message if you have IPV4 static address assigned. To make the message disappear, you should also assing a static IPV6 address or disable IPV6 on that interface. -- john o''''c "joc" wrote: [Quoted Text] > If you have assigned a static IP address, then it is safe to ignore the > message.

Re: Server 2008 dcpromo Somchai 12/12/2008 11:49:00 AM I have assigned a static IP of cause. What you are saying is to ignore the message, promote the Domain and then setup the DNS manually?

Re: Server 2008 dcpromo joc 12/12/2008 12:25:00 PM To quote from the Technet article that I referenced: "You may receive a warning message stating 'This computer has dynamically assigned IP address(es)'. You must ensure that the server has a statically assigned IPv4 address. However, you may still receive this message, due to the fact that IPv6 is enabled and set to DHCP by default. As long as you have a statically assigned IPv4 address, it is safe to ignore the message and continue. You may receive a delegation warning. It is safe to ignore the message and continue. " The warning will be due to IPV6 not having a statically assigned address. To get rid of the warning you could assign an IPV6 static address or remove IPV6 by un-checking the box "Internet Protocol Version 6 TCP/IPv6" in the Networking properties page of your NIC. If you do neither of these, it is still safe to ignore the warning and continue. -- john o''''c "Somchai" wrote: [Quoted Text] > I have assigned a static IP of cause.

Re: Server 2008 dcpromo Somchai 12/12/2008 7:00:01 PM joc and Meinolf, thanks a lot for your input. I will try joc's solution on Monday and will keep you posted. Once again, thanks a lot.

Re: Server 2008 dcpromo Somchai 12/15/2008 9:26:00 AM FYI, the problem came from IPv6. It is solved now.
