OS: Windows 7

I was trying next command:

> rabbitmqctl status

error:
{error_logger,{{2012,5,17},{14,39,42}},"Can't set short node name!\nPlease check your configuration\n",[]}

where I can set node name and how? How can I check my configuration? Thank us in advance!

PS 
> rabbitmq-service start
works fine. Output: Service RabbitMQ started.

but when I'm trying to start rabbit as a server... then I get the same error:
