Containers do not work on a VM deployed from the image 'Windows Server 2019 Datacenter with containers' in a domain network

Question

Dear gurus. We have a VM deployed from a marketplace image 'Windows Server 2019 Datacenter with containers' and joined to the domain network in Azure. Unfortunately, when I am trying to run Docker images the cmd console just hangs. And then I am getting the error below:

Would you please explain\advise whether it is expected behavior when such a VM added to a domain VNET?

Answer 1

Hi there,

Make sure you are running the correct version. Windows Server 2016 and Windows 10 Anniversary Update (both version 14393) were the first Windows releases that could build and run Windows Server containers. Containers built using these versions can run on newer releases.

This might help out in determining it https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/virtualization/windowscontainers/deploy-containers/version-compatibility?tabs=windows-server-2022%2Cwindows-10-21H1

Hi, thank for your answer. Here is a Windows OS version which I used - 1809. I tried to run Windows containers on a such VM spinning up in a trial Azure subscription and they worked flawlessly.
