TLDR: Title, and: Is this a problem, or am I looking in the wrong place?
I'm trying to understand our build agent which is a Windows Server 2019 Standard,
PS C:\Program Files\Docker\Docker> (Get-WmiObject -class
Win32_OperatingSystem).Caption Microsoft Windows Server 2019 Standard
(For fun reasons I only have access through remote powershell, not remote desktop)
Running Docker version 24.0.2
PS C:\Program Files\Docker\Docker> docker --version
Docker version 24.0.2, build cb74dfc
Currently the dockerd process is running, but in the event log it's listening on API listen on //./pipe/docker_engine_windows
PS C:\Program Files\Docker\Docker> Get-EventLog Application -Source docker -Newest 2
Index Time EntryType Source InstanceID Message
----- ---- --------- ------ ---------- -------
326526 júl. 06 16:06 Information docker 1 API listen on //./pipe/docker_engine_windows
326525 júl. 06 16:06 Information docker 1 Daemon has completed initialization
but when I try docker ps (and any other docker command, including our docker builds) I get error:
PS C:\Program Files\Docker\Docker> docker ps
error during connect: in the default daemon configuration on Windows, the docker client must be run with elevated privileg
es to connect: Get "http://%2F%2F.%2Fpipe%2Fdocker_engine/v1.24/containers/json": open //./pipe/docker_engine: The system
cannot find the file specified.
I don't know if it's a significant difference, but it seems the dockerd is listening on //./pipe/docker_engine_windows but the docker command expects it on just //./pipe/docker_engine
What could be the cause of this? Is this a problem or am I looking in the wrong place?
I am running in an elevated Powershell session, as far as I can tell:
PS C:\Program Files\Docker\Docker> whoami /all

I've tried a few times to restart the services and the processes, switch the engines back and forth, nothing seems to change this. I even managed to restart the computer, but it still behaves this way.
.\DockerCli.exe -SwitchLinuxEngine
.\DockerCli.exe -SwitchWindowsEngine
.\DockerCli.exe -switchdaemon
All have similarly nothing effect
PS C:\Program Files\Docker\Docker> .\DockerCli.exe -SwitchLinuxEngine
