DHCPv6 client in Windows 10 broken after anniversary update

[Harald F. Karlsen]

Hi,

It seems like Microsoft somehow broke DHCPv6 client functionality in the 
Windows 10 anniversary update and now neither stateful nor stateless 
DHCPv6 functionality works unless you manually issue "ipconfig /renew6" 
(for stateful DHCPv6 this will only give you IPv6-connectivity untill 
the lease expires).

This is generally not a big issue for dual-stacked residential customers 
as most CPEs does SLAAC on the LAN-side, but the Win10 clients will not 
recieve DNS from DHCP if the CPE is configured for that. For enterprise 
networks on the other hand this can be a big issue. Especially when 
running FHS and no SLAAC.

Have anyone on the list experienced issues with this yet? If so, have 
you contacted Microsoft and what did they say? I've found reports on 
this issue dating back from early august so it's strange that Microsoft 
have not yet issued a fix for it.
