I have two Windows 2019 servers, one that is able to run Linux containers without any issues, and the other that can’t. They are running identical versions of docker (18.09). I have tried rebuilding the server that can’t run the Linux containers from scratch numerous times. CreateComputeSystem — The request is not supported. Why is this happening!!!
Both servers have the exact same Linuxkit LCOW kernel and initrd.img files (https://github.com/linuxkit/lcow/releases/tag/v4.14.35-v0.3.9) in C:\Program Files\Linux Containers.
Here is the docker info, version, and what happens when I try to run an Ubuntu image on each of them:
