Presently is it possible to run docker client in Window Server2008 or 2012 in similar line as done in Windows 7 and 8 ? I know they have been working on window container as well hyper V container which is supposed to release in next version in 2016. but is there any way to use docker client in it directly presently ?

Yes, if you can install VirtualBox on that Windows server, you can run the docker client (through boot2docker and its Tiny Core OS).

Since Windows Server 2008 is supported as a host server, the installation of boot2docker should be possible.
