Business Central 2019 release wave 2 - Preview Available.

Hi All,

Today 07/31/2019,

Microsoft has started to create Docker images of Business Central 2019 Wave 2 preview on bcinsider.

How can I get a preview -
The preview release is only available on Dockers. So if you don't have Docker get it in place.



What else we need - 
Even with dockers, you need to be registered in Microsoft Collaborate as part of the “Ready to Go” program. If you are registered you will have credentials while downloading images from docker.

URL To Download Image -

The image tag for the preview images are:
bcinsider.azurecr.io/bcsandbox-master:<country>-<platform>

where <country> is the country code for the localization you need and <platform> is either ltsc2016 (for Windows Server 2016 or Windows 10 pre-1809) or ltsc2019 (for Windows Server 2019 or Windows 10 1809 or later).

Get the latest ContainerHelper
Please make sure you are using the latest version of the NavContainerHelper PowerShell module, here: https://www.powershellgallery.com/packages/navcontainerhelper – you need at least version 0.6.2.9.
