HTTPS over IPv6 · not part of the grade yet
Redirects to windows.microsoft.com, which has no IPv6 address — so IPv6 visitors end up needing IPv4 after all.
https://windows.com/ via 2603:1010:3:3::5b → 301https://windows.microsoft.com/ · redirects to windows.microsoft.com, which has no IPv6 address
problem

What's keeping windows.com from an A

  1. A redirect leads off IPv6
    Redirects to windows.microsoft.com, which has no IPv6 address — so IPv6 visitors end up needing IPv4 after all. Give the redirect target IPv6 too, or redirect somewhere that has it.
  2. Mail servers without IPv6
    mail.windows.com has no AAAA record, so mail from IPv6-only servers can't reach it directly. If a provider runs your mail, that's their setting; if you run it, add AAAA records for these hosts.
