Disabling APIPA in Server
Disabling APIPA
Whenever DHCP is used, APIPA is enabled by default. If you don't want a computer to use APIPA, you can either assign a static TCP/IP address or disable APIPA. For example, if your network uses routers or your network is connected to the internet without a nat or proxy server, you might not want to use APIPA. You can disable APIPA in the registry.
On windows 2000 or later, you can disable APIPA by creating the IPAutoConfigurationEnabled as a DWORD value-entry under
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\Interfaces\AdapterGUID,
where AdapterGUID is the globally unique identifier (GUID) for the computer's network adapter.
Set the value to 0×0.
If you create the IPAutoConfigurationEnabled as a DWORD value-entry, you can enable APIPA at any time by changing the value to 0×1.
For more information about disabling APIPA, see microsoft knowledge base article 220874.
