Weijuan Shi Davis Thanks for the response.

I tried following the instructions here:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/virtualization/windowscontainers/quick-start/set-up-environment?tabs=Windows-Server

However, I get an error on the first step (Install-Module -Name DockerMsftProvider -Repository PSGallery -Force):

PS C:\Users\Administrator> Install-Module -Name DockerMsftProvider -Repository PSGallery -Force
Get-PSGalleryApiAvailability : PowerShell Gallery is currently unavailable. Please try again later.

NuGet provider is required to continue
PowerShellGet requires NuGet provider version '2.8.5.201' or newer to interact with NuGet-based repositories. The NuGet
provider must be available in 'C:\Program Files\PackageManagement\ProviderAssemblies' or
'C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Local\PackageManagement\ProviderAssemblies'. You can also install the NuGet provider by
running 'Install-PackageProvider -Name NuGet -MinimumVersion 2.8.5.201 -Force'. Do you want PowerShellGet to install
and import the NuGet provider now?

BTW, the next step suggested here, installing "NuGet" fails as well, even though the connectivity to this system is fine:

Any ideas what might be wrong?

  Tony - I tried again today and was able to run it successfully.

    I identified the problem. It turns out that our corporate Zscaler security was intercepting certificates, blocking Install-Module from connecting with PSGallery. I reconfigured the VM to use a bridged network instead of a NAT (which Zscaler controls), and I was able to install the docker packages. Everything is working correctly now. Thanks for your help!

  Tony - I couldn't tell why this failed for you. Can you try spinning out another VM? I didn't have any trouble running the installation scripts either using a VM on Azure directly or downloading the VHDX file and spinning up a local VM.
