Disable IPV6 using Powershell
Although you should be using the IPV6 for future, but System Administrator from time to time, may be required to disable IPV6 for various reasons.
Again, this can be done via GUI. But will require few GUI based steps and repeating the same task on 1000’s of machine will require dedicated person performing a task, which can be automated or done within seconds via Powershell.
Let perform this task – Disabling IPV6
First of all, we need to know the Interface details you are looking to disable it on. To do so, you can either run Get-NetAdapterBinding or Get-DNS client
Get-NetAdapterBinding
Get-DNSClient
After you have Interface Name, Alias or Index, you can then run powershell cmdlet “Disable-NetAdapterBinding” for that Interface and disable the required component.
Component ID for IPV6 is ms_tipconfig /cpip6
So, lets execute the following command to Disable IPV6 protocol on particular interface
Disable-NetAdapterBinding -Name “Ethernet0” -ComponentID “ms_tcpip6”
This will execute and disables the IPV6.
Please feel free to provide feedback. Enjoy Reading.
