Attempting to use IPv4 for network adapter failed due to a failure to disable auto-configuration and DHCP

Microsoft.Windows.2008.Cluster.Management.Monitoring.Attempting.to.use.IPv4.for.network.adapter.failed.due.to.a.failure.to.disable.autoconfiguration.and.DHCP (Rule)

Knowledge Base article:

If you do not currently have Event Viewer open, see "Opening Event Viewer and viewing events related to failover clustering." Using the information in the event message, for the affected adapter, review all IPv4 autoconfiguration settings and DHCP settings. If IPv6 is used, review these settings also.

To perform the following procedures, you must be a member of the local Administrators group on each clustered server.

Opening Event Viewer and viewing events related to failover clustering

To open Event Viewer and view events related to failover clustering:

  1. If Server Manager is not already open, click Start, click Administrative Tools, and then click Server Manager. If the User Account Control dialog box appears, confirm that the action it displays is what you want, and then click Continue.
  2. In the console tree, expand Diagnostics, expand Event Viewer, expand Windows Logs, and then click System.
  3. To filter the events so that only events with a Source of FailoverClustering are shown, in the Actions pane, click Filter Current Log. On the Filter tab, in the Event sources box, select FailoverClustering. Select other options as appropriate, and then click OK.
  4. To sort the displayed events by date and time, in the center pane, click the Date and Time column heading.
