Symantec Endpoint Protection for Windows disables ipv6

[Matthew Huff]

Symantec's new Endpoint Protection client for enterprises includes a new rule based "network threat protection". One of the default rules blocks all ipv6. One of our admins ran an upgrade this weekend on our AD servers and since they were still advertising AAAA records for themselves, but dropping ipv6 packets, it caused a few problems this morning.

What was Symantec thinking? Lets block all ipv6 since it's only a nuisance?  Seriously. Just wanted to let ever know in case someone else run's into this.
