Dear Ivan, 
 Thank you for raising this question on the RWS Community. 
 According to the https://www.rabbitmq.com/clustering.html , and depending of the Erlang version used, the .erlang.cookie file should be available here: 
 
 - with Erlang versions starting with 20.2, the cookie file locations are: 
 
 %HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH%\.erlang.cookie (usually C:\Users\%USERNAME%\.erlang.cookie for user %USERNAME% ) if both the HOMEDRIVE and HOMEPATH environment variables are set 
 %USERPROFILE%\.erlang.cookie (usually C:\Users\%USERNAME%\.erlang.cookie ) if HOMEDRIVE and HOMEPATH are not both set 
 For the RabbitMQ Windows service - %USERPROFILE%\.erlang.cookie (usually C:\WINDOWS\system32\config\systemprofile )

- with Erlang versions prior to 20.2, the cookie file locations are: 
 
 %HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH%\.erlang.cookie (usually C:\Users\%USERNAME%\.erlang.cookie for user %USERNAME% ) if both the HOMEDRIVE and HOMEPATH environment variables are set 
 %USERPROFILE%\.erlang.cookie (usually C:\Users\%USERNAME%\.erlang.cookie ) if HOMEDRIVE and HOMEPATH are not both set 
 For the RabbitMQ Windows service - %WINDIR%\.erlang.cookie (usually C:\Windows\.erlang.cookie 
 
 Hope this helps. 
 Best regards
