If a new technician installs only IPv6 on a workstation, the workstation will not be able to access any servers that only support IPv4, including the DHCP server and domain controller. However, the workstation will still be able to access servers that support both IPv4 and IPv6, such as DNS servers.
IPv4 and IPv6 are two different protocols that handle network addressing differently. IPv4 uses a 32-bit address scheme, while IPv6 uses a 128-bit address scheme. While IPv4 is still widely used, IPv6 has been developed to address the limitations of IPv4 and to allow for more efficient addressing and routing of network traffic.
When a device with only IPv6 is used to connect to a server that only supports IPv4, it will not be able to communicate with the server because the two protocols are not compatible. The device will need to have both IPv4 and IPv6 enabled in order to access IPv4-only servers.
In the given options, the DHCP server and domain controller only support IPv4 and thus the workstation with only IPv6 installed will not be able to access them. However, the DNS server supports both IPv4 and IPv6 and thus the workstation will still be able to access it.
