Docker – Start-Process : A parameter cannot be found that matches parameter name ‘Command’

dockerwindows-server-2016windows-server-core

Strangest error. Im attempting to run an elevated powershell process in order to install an application on a headless windows server 2016 core container.

steps to reproduce this:

  • start the container in interactive mode (docker start mycontainer -i)
  • from cmd – powershell
  • from powershell session prompt Start-Process -Command PowerShell -Verb RunAs
  • receive the unrecognized error statement

thanks in advance

Best Answer

That's because Start-Process does not have a parameter called -Command.

You probably mean -FilePath
