Use a script in a policy to turn it off. Set the policy to network state changed and run a script that finds what service they are using and disable it.

networksetup -setv6off <network service>

Hi, there - I need to disable IPv6 using casper and I'm a windows admin! no clue how to achieve this. I'm oretty good with powershell scripting so I thougt I would "get" it but I'm afraid I need guidance. Could you assist me in step-by-step how to disable IPv6 in Casper for all computers?

Hey Winops,

The simplest and easiest way would be:
1) Create a new policy in Casper.
2) In the new policy, add a "Files and Processes" item. 3) In the last box ("Execute Command") add the following line:

networksetup -setv6off [network service]

4) Replace the "[network service] with the GUI name of the interface you wish to turn IPV6 off for.
Possible Valid Examples:
"Ethernet"
"Built-in Ethernet"
"Wi-Fi"
"Thunderbolt Ethernet"
5) Set the triggers as you wish. I'd possible suggest "Startup" and / or "Logout". That way you should avoid the risk of network connections reinitialising and annoying users.
6) Scope your new policy to a very small number of devices, gradely adding more once you confirm it doesn't break anything.

Oh, did I also mention, always test heavily before hitting scoping to your entire estate.

Hope that helps!

The link below should help you with this (comment out the proxy settings for each device). I have tested this with a small group of systems (MBPs,MBAs,Mac Mini) and it worked fine for me. Like daz_dar said

!/bin/sh

networksetup -listallnetworkservices | sed "1 d" | while read output ;do networksetup -setv6off "$output";done

@jrepasky might want to add grep -v * to skip any inactive services.

For example if iPhone USB is inactive, the command won't throw an error.
