Re: Active Directory Services, Status "unavailable" on W2k8 AD DS

[Meinolf Weber [MVP-DS]]

Hello gc,

If you disable/uncheck the IPv6 on the NIC it will show the status unavailable.
Enabled it shows "online".

So you have either let it enabled or stop all about IPv6:

Choose 5.b and it will also show online after the reboot.
