Just curious if there are any plans to get Enterprise or Workplace search hosting on a Windows OS?

Hi Cody,

Thanks for your interest in Workplace Search! You can get started with Enterprise Search on Windows OS with two easy steps:

1. set up docker for windows: [https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-windows/](https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-windows/)
2. run Enterprise Search on Docker: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/enterprise-search/current/docker.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/enterprise-search/current/docker.html)

Let us know if you run into any problems!

Thank you for your reply, I was looking into Docker as a work around. My use case is limited and it's harder to implement Docker due to the level of security in the facility where I want to deploy.
