Thomas, you should be able to type "Netsh I ipv add dns" from the
Command Prompt on Windows 2003 to enable IPv6 DNS.  You will need to
make sure the address of the DNS server is reachable by default address,
fec0:0:0:ffff::1-3

I hope this helps,
Thanks

Hello,

I'm working on the relationship between IPv6 and DynamicDNS on several
OS.
I've succeeded in making my testbed with an automatic registration into
the DNS at the startup of computers.
Then IPv4 and v6 addresses are well recorded inside the DNS. But the
fact is that I still have the IPv4 network.
Next I tried to put off the IPv4 protocol from the network and get an
only IPv6 network.
* For the linux machines -> no problems
* For the windows 2003 machines -> they are no more recorded inside the
DNS table

Thus I have few questions about this thema :
- Is there anything special to setup in the OS to allow dynamic updates
over IPv6 ? may be in the netsh tool ? I've searched myself and haven't
found ...
- Is IPv4 necessary to carry the register messages that serves for the
dynamic DNS updates ? It would mean that IPv6 is not autonomous on the
new windows OS ? strange ...
- Is there an equivalent of the command ipconfig /registerdns ... that
exists when IPv4 is shut down ? 

Regards
- Thomas
