Microsoft DhcpServer reference: Returns the IPv6 option values for one or more IPv6 options either for a specific reserved IP, scope or, server level. The syntax and selected example below are adapted from the pinned Windows Server 2025 reference. Module availability, target configuration and delegated permissions determine whether it can run in your environment. Documentation and parameter text: Microsoft, CC BY 4.0; formatting adapted by Cmdlet World. No execution testing is claimed.
Use an account with the target resource permissions documented for Get-DhcpServerv6OptionValue. Modifying administrative cmdlets may require elevation or delegated administration. This catalog does not assert that ordinary users can execute the command.

Parameters
-All
Indicates that this cmdlet gets the option values for a scope, server, or reservation. Option values can include vendor class and user class specific. If only this parameter is specified, this cmdlet gets all of the option values for the specified scope, reservation, or server. If you specify the *OptionId* parameter and this parameter, option values for the specified option ID for all of the vendor classes and user classes are returned. If you specify the *VendorClass* parameter and this parameter, all of the option values for the specified vendor class including those for any user class would be returned. If you specify the *UserClass* parameter and this parameter, all of the option values for the specified user class including any vendor specific options would be returned.
-AsJob
Runs the cmdlet as a background job. Use this parameter to run commands that take a long time to complete. The cmdlet immediately returns an object that represents the job and then displays the command prompt. You can continue to work in the session while the job completes. To manage the job, use the *-Job cmdlets. To get the job results, use the Receive-Job cmdlet. For more information about Windows PowerShell® background jobs, see about_Jobs.
-Brief
Specifies that the name of the option is not returned in the option value object. This parameter improves the performance of this cmdlet by not requesting the name of the option from the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server service. For repeatedly fetching a large number of option values by using this cmdlet, we recommend use of the *Brief* parameter.
-CimSession
Runs the cmdlet in a remote session or on a remote computer. Enter a computer name or a session object, such as the output of a New-CimSession or Get-CimSession cmdlet. The default is the current session on the local computer.
-ComputerName
Specifies the DNS name, or IPv4 or IPv6 address, of the target computer that runs the DHCP server service.
-OptionId
Specifies the numeric identifier of the options for which one or more values are being requested. If you do not specify this parameter, all option values configured are returned.
-Prefix
Specifies the IPv6 subnet prefix of the scope for which the option values are requested.
-ReservedIP
Specifies the reserved IPv6 address for which the option values are requested.
-ThrottleLimit
Specifies the maximum number of concurrent operations that can be established to run the cmdlet. If this parameter is omitted or a value of 0 is entered, then Windows PowerShell® calculates an optimum throttle limit for the cmdlet based on the number of CIM cmdlets that are running on the computer. The throttle limit applies only to the current cmdlet, not to the session or to the computer.
-UserClass
Specifies that the option values for the specified user class are returned.
-VendorClass
Specifies that the option values for the specified vendor class are returned.
Prerequisites
Windows with the DhcpServer module and the Windows feature or management tools that provide it. Confirm target connectivity and version compatibility using the linked Microsoft reference.
Security considerations
This is a read-oriented cmdlet; protect any sensitive results and check the documented effects of your selected parameters.
