Exchange Server 2007 needs IPv6 in order to run on Windows Server 2008 (unless you completely disable IPv6). There are a lot of components that depend on IPv6.
f you decide to completely disable IPv6, follow these steps that David Chen described on TechNet Forums (I didn’t test it):
1. Open Registry with “Regedit”
2. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip6\Parameters
3. Create a dword (32-bit) value and name it as “Disabled Components” and then click OK
4. Double click “Disabled Components” and type 0xffffffff(hexadecimal value) or 4294967295 (Decimal value)
Please note: The above value 0xffffffff(hexadecimal value) or 4294967295 (Decimal value) will disable all IPv6 components, except the IPv6 loopback interface.
