Rabbitmq-server: 3.6.0 service fails to start properly on Windows 10 with Erlang 18.2.1

[Fydon]

I installed Erlang and RabbitMQ on a new Windows 10 Pro PC, so it didn't have any previous version of either software installed. The RabbitMQ service successfully starts, but running rabbitmqctl.bat status displays the following:

attempted to contact: [rabbit@TDPC2]

rabbit@TDPC2:
  * connected to epmd (port 4369) on TDPC2
  * epmd reports: node 'rabbit' not running at all
                  other nodes on TDPC2: ['RabbitMQ']
  * suggestion: start the node

current node details:
- node name: 'rabbitmq-cli-13480@TDPC2'
- home dir: C:\Users\td
- cookie hash: JiIMuMYi5u4Cs5kaaeJj5g==

running .\rabbitmq-server.bat status then displays the follow

              Starting broker... completed with 6 plugins.

At this point RabbitMQ works correctly. I then terminated the batch file and stopped the RabbitMQ service and ran .\rabbitmq-server.bat status, which displays the following:

ERROR: epmd error for host Protocol: inet_tcp: register/listen error: econnrefused: nxdomain (non-existing domain)

This leave an instance of epmd.exe running in the background, so running .\rabbitmq-server.bat status again results in the broker starting again.

I tried creating a configuration file with debug logging, but nothing is written when the econnrefused error happens. Is there anything I can I do to provide more details?

Please post questions to rabbitmq-users google group.
Looks like you should check node name of rabbitmq server node (you can use WMIC to show processes command line args)
