IPv6 Scope ID

• Scope ID is about IPv6.
• Scope ID is not relevant and not used for IPv4 connections.
• The IPv6 Scope ID is a number. It is not Text.
• What number you need to enter, has nothing to do with AADS, but depends on the Client PC.
• It is about the Client PC. It is not about the Server.
• What number you need to enter differs between Windows, OSX and Linux.

When an IPv6 connection attempts fails with some kind of "routing" error, then this "routing" error might be caused by not having entered an IPv6 Scope ID. Possible and hopefully the correct IPv6 ScopeID will fix this "routing" error.

Windows

Windows Vista and newer

• Usually you can leave the IPv6 ScopeID empty. Windows will figure out by it selves what the IPv6 Scope ID must be.

Windows XP and Server 2003

• Usually a correct value of the IPv6 Scope ID needs to be entered.

Obtaining the IPv6 Scope ID

Option 1:

• Contact the IT department that supports the Client PC and ask them about the IPv6 ScopeID for this Client PC.

Option 2:

• Open a dos-box, and enter the command ipconfig :

• The IPv6 Scope ID of this Client PC is 10.

Client PC with multiple network cards

If the Client PC has multiple network cards, it will also have multiple IPv6 Scope ID's. In such a case, see Option 1: Contact the IT department that supports the Client PC and ask them about the appropriate IPv6 ScopeID for this Client PC, such that this Client PC can connect with the AADServer(s).
