Can you try running & 'C:\Program Files\Docker\Docker\DockerCli.exe' -SwitchDaemon?
Make sure you are using windows daemon and not linux

[ateimoo]

I just tried running Docker Toolbox on Windows 10 Home.
Docker runs but you can't pull any Windows images since you're piping all commands through a Linux VM (on Virtualbox) and so the daemon is linux!!! This is not mentioned anywhere!!! Ridiculous...

Devs, please note in the readme that the image does not run with docker toolbox. A full install of docker is needed.

@ateimoo I understand your frustration, however we do mention in the README that microsoft/iis is a Windows container image.
Your feedback is duly noted, we will consider revising the readme or adding an FAQ to bring attention to the issue that you bring up

@shirhatti
I am having the same issue trying to build my iis site from my vm with image2docker.
I ran this already, C:\Program Files\Docker\Docker\DockerCli.exe' -SwitchDaemon

PS C:\i2d2\iis> docker build -t i2d2/app_vm .

Wow, I'm dumb. I didn't run the SwitchDaemon with '&' which is suppose to restart your machine. That worked for me.
It would be nice if the build told you that you might be running the wrong daemon because unknown blob is not very helpful

Closing. Feel free to re-open if you still have issues
