Thanks for the help. I believe I have the problem resolved now. What seems to be the issue is that our network logins don't point to the local user home directory. This does raise another question, however. On my local machine, opening up the cmd.exe shell drops me in C:\Users\[MyUserId]\ folder. Within this folder, I have an .erlang.cookie file that matches the C:\Windows\.erlang.cookie file. The values for my HOMEDIR and HOMEPATH variables are H: and \ respectively, and I found that there was also a .erlang.cookie file in that folder as well that didn't match. At what point did each of these files get created? I'm assuming that the Erlang installer created a cookie in one of the folders while running an erlang process for the first time user my user created the other. Could this be an issue with the installer perhaps?<div>

for how to set RABBITMQ_CONSOLE_LOG and obtain the startup banner. This<br>
will provide the cookie hash of the running broker. You can compare this<br>
value with the error messages from rabbitmqctl.bat to confirm whether<br>
the cookie values are indeed the same.<br>
