install-docker scripts failing when passing -useDHCP due to deprecated dependency

[rholdorf]

the problem
On Windows Server 2022, the install-docker-ce.ps1 and install-containers-runtime.ps1 scripts will fail at the step Creating container network (Transparent)... as that depends on the New-ContainerNetwork cmdlet. That cmdlet is part of Docker PowerShell which is deprecated.

To Reproduce
On a Windows Server 2022 machine, with Hyper-V Role and Containers feature enabled, download the scripts, open an Administrator Windows PowerShell session and run ./install-docker-ce.ps1 -useDHCP.

It will start fine, and then will fail:

PS C:\Users\[user]\Downloads> .\install-docker-ce.ps1 -useDHCP
Querying status of Windows feature: Containers...
Feature Containers is already enabled.
Waiting for Hyper-V Management...
Enabling container networking...
Creating container network (Transparent)...
C:\Users\[user]\Downloads\install-docker-ce.ps1 : The term 'New-ContainerNetwork' is not recognized as the name of a
cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify
that the path is correct and try again.

Expected behavior
Docker should be installed, with Transparent networking.

Configuration:

• Edition: Windows Server 2022
• Base Image being used: Not applicable
• Container engine: Not applicable
• Container Engine version: Not applicable

Additional context
Fresh install, just Windows and .NET8, nothing else.

@rholdorf We have updated the scripts to use supported commands to create a transparent network to unblock the users! Cheers!
