Docker for windows EE (running in windows server 2016).
What could be the problem when my docker run command jams/freezes when i try to run a image ?
I just cant figure out what the problem is.
Also if you know how to clean up the docker installation so that i can start from scratch -> it could be nice 
I have tried to install docker in many different ways when it always behaved in this way that run command jams/hangs/freezes
So installation is done into a windows server 2016 VM (versio 1607) and in that VM i try to run the commands. Am i doing this wrong or should i always run commands from a client computer, eg. windows 10 ?
So basically what i want to know is dockerd.exe the docker host engine and is docker.exe the client and if so, should i be able to start containers from withing the windows server 2016 VM ?
Expected behavior
Should probably start some kind of dotnet example website or a powershell cmd if that kind of application is tried to be runned.
Actual behavior
Container does not start or get running !?
