Prior to transition, IPv6 will not be installed. The following registry key indicates the IPv6 protocol has been installed. If it exists, then this is a finding. Registry Hive: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE Subkey: \System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip6 Note: The Gold Disk can only check for the existence of the key. If IPv6 has been implemented in your environment, manually close the finding. See S0-C1-imp-1 of the The Department of National Intelligence/Department of Defense (DoD) Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) Information Assurance Guidance for Milestone Objective 3 for additional information. |
