When setting up a static IP address in a windows server, you may see that auto configuration is on and giving a 169.0.0.0 number as preferred address and the new static IP as the duplicate address. This will make your static IP address unreachable. To solve this issue, follow the steps below.
Step 1: Go to command prompt and type IPCONFIG /ALL
On below sample, autoconfiguration is enable and giving wrong IP address.
Step 2: Type netsh interface ipv4 show inter
Take note of the IDX number. We will need this in the next command
Step 3: Type netsh interface ipv4 set interface 12 dadtransmits=0 store=persistent
This command will fix the correct index number. In this case, the index number we need to fix is "12". You can change it depending on your index number.
In some cases, you need to disable DHCP client service in the services menu. However, in my case after entering the command on Step 3 and restarting the server, the autoconfiguration setup has been fixed already.
