Windows Server 2016 using VirtualBox for Docker Containers

Windows Server 2016 is adding support for Docker containers with Technology Preview 5, which provides basic support for Docker. To configure and use Docker on Windows Server 2016, download the ISO from microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter/evaluate-windows-server-technical-preview and install it using VirtualBox. The installation process requires some tweaks to ensure that Docker containers can be started later. After installing, switch to Expert Mode to update default configuration settings, and create a new virtual drive from the downloaded ISO. During the installation, select the defaults and accept the license to complete the setup. Once installed, log in using the administrator account created during the installation process. As of this writing, the functionality and experience will evolve with subsequent blogs providing detailed instructions on configuring, building, and running Docker containers.
