Disable APIPA Windows 2008 Server

Disable APIPA Windows 2008 Server

Use Registry Editor to create the following registry key:

  1. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetServicesTcpipParameters
  2. Add the following value to this key:
    Value name: IPAutoconfigurationEnabled
    Value type: REG_DWORD
    Value in hexadecimal: 0 (A value of 0 disables APIPA support on this computer)

    NOTE: If the IPAutoconfigurationEnabled entry is not present, a default value of 1 is assumed, which indicates that APIPA is enabled.

  3. After you make this change, restart your computer.
