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.
