While installing and configuring Server 2008 (Standard), I decided to set up the AD DS service.
AD DS requires that the DNS service be set up as well.  DNS doesn’t function properly if you’re getting a DHCP address.

I personally haven’t yet made time to to educate myself about IPv6, though I should.  The DNS setup process will complain if you do not have a static IPv6 address configured.

My server has two NICs.  Their IPv4 addresses are 192.168.3.2 and 192.168.3.3, respectively.
I went to the following website – http://www.subnetonline.com/pages/subnet-calculators/ipv4-to-ipv6-converter.php, plugged in the respective IPv4 addresses, and used the tool to pull out the equivalent IPv6 address, subnet mask, and default gateway.

I then also set the primary DNS server to 127.0.0.1 (in IPv6 notation of course, which I believe is 0:0:0:0:0:0:7f00:1),
and my local router – 192.168.3.1, again in IPv6 notation.
