Windows Server 2016 (1607) docker hello-world image pull fail

Windows Server 2016
#1

Expected behavior

In an elevated Powershell I run:
docker container run hello-world:nanoserver

I expect:
The hello-world image to download, extract and show in Powershell

Actual behavior

I get the following error:
Unable to find image ‘hello-world:nanoserver’ locally
nanoserver: Pulling from library/hello-world

Information

  1. I get this error on a fresh Windows Server 2016 install. (version 1607) (OS build 14393.2906)
  2. Windows Containers feature is enabled via elevated Powershell.
  3. Firewall has been disabled and Anti-virus not installed. (This was my first troubleshoot)
  4. As the image is being pulled I can see it in the C:\ProgramData\docker\windowsfilter file but just before it finishes the image disappears.
