PLEASE DO NOT INCLUDE ANY PASSWORDS OR TOKENS IN YOUR ISSUE!!!

Describe the issue While trying to Create a Docker Container with BC 24.3.21374.22132 with a DB on another Docker, it failed with the following Error Message:

Service 'Dynamics 365 Business Central Server [BC] (MicrosoftDynamicsNavServer$BC)' cannot be started due to the following error: Cannot start service MicrosoftDynamicsNavServer$BC on computer '.'.

When running the same command but omitting the database parameters, it works

Additional context

• The error appears when trying to connect the BC-Container to a SQL-Docker. When using the SQL-Server on the BC-Container, the Creation works
• tried it with BC24.2, there it worked
