RESOLUTION

First, check to see if this directory is in place: C:\Program Files (x86)\RabbitMQ Server\rabbitmq_server-3.1.3\sbin. This is where the plugin we are looking to enable would be located.If it is not, it must be downloaded and installed from RabbitMQ:https://www.rabbitmq.com/download.html

Assuming the plugin directory and rabbitMQ server is installed, you can either run the command prompt that RabbitMQ provides which is the same as a regular command prompt with the exception that it automatically opens up at the correct directory for the plugins.

Alternatively, you can open command prompt and run this command: CD C:\Program Files (x86)\RabbitMQ Server\rabbitmq_server-3.1.3\sbin. With command prompt open and the proper directory selected run this command to enable the plugin: rabbitmq-plugins enable rabbitmq_management.

Once this is completed, open a browser and navigate to this URL: http://SERVERNAME:15672

The initial user id and password is: Guest/Guest
