For information on setting up a Windows Server 2003 operating system within an IPv6 network, see the online Microsoft TechNet article Step-by-Step Guide for Setting Up IPv6 in a Test Lab.
Before using HP SUM to deploy software and firmware updates to remote Windows Server 2003 servers, you must add a registry entry to enable file sharing connections over IPv6 networks. To make the registry entry:
Open the Registry Editor (Regedit32.exe).
Locate and click the following key in the registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Parameters
On the Edit menu, click Add Value.
Add the following registry value:
Value name: DisableStrictNameChecking
Data type: REG_DWORD
Radix: Decimal
Value: 1
Close the Registry Editor.
For more information about these steps, see the Microsoft Knowledge Base Item 281308 on the Microsoft website.
If you cannot connect to the target server or receive a Discovery failed message when executing HP SUM in an IPv6 environment, see Troubleshooting.
