Why create Windows server docker image if you can download one from Docker Hub?

To pull the official image, just run the command:

$ docker pull microsoft/windowsservercore

It will download the latest version of Windows server core, which as of this writing is 2016. Supported Windows Server 2016 (Long Term Support Channel) tags are:

ltsc2016, latest
10.0.14393.<Revision Number>
10.0.14393.<Revision Number>_<Language Code>

Once you have the image local on your machine, you can create your custom images using Dockerfile. To learn how to work with Dockerfiles, visit Aquasec Working with Dockerfiles documentation.

Also, reference the official Dockerfiles guide on Docker site. You can then build custom docker image that fits your use case.

Thanks Ben, I have just corrected the question my intention was to get the image of Windows server not to create. Thanks a lot — shankar upadhyay, Apr 01 '18 at 08:23

Got it, After installing docker on windows 10 we need to open the "Windows PowerShell" and go through this link link. By using this command:- docker pull microsoft/windowsservercore we can get the image of Windows server 16.
