I have a windows server 2016 with two network adapter. Both are assigned static address and do not overlap. The first adapter never have issue but the second adapter is always changed to 169.x.x.x (apipa) after restart.
If we look at the adapter properties, the statically configured ip address is actually still there. The workaround is to set it to dynamic and then return it to static , it will stay until the next reboot. Now I think i’m tired enough to do this repeatedly for dozens of server. Anyone can sort this out? Really appreciated all inputs. Thanks
Fyi… first adapter ip 10.x.x.x /24 , default gateway 10.x.x.1
Second adapter ip 192.168.x.x /24, no default gateway
