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>
