Description of problem: Having windows agent to plug to linux RHQ server fails on `rhq-agent.wrapper.bat start` with: === 2014-07-10 11:46:31,117 ERROR [RHQ Agent Registration Thread] (org.rhq.enterprise.agent.AgentMain)- {AgentMain.agent-registration-rejected}The server has rejected the agent registration request.

Actual results: agent fails to start using the _same_ security token which was prepared via rhq-agent.bat execution/configuration. Expected results: agent should reuse the security token and start normally. Additional info:
WORKAROUND 1. rhq-agent.bat -L (and specify the configuration again) 2. then once it loaded agent console do: - `config export conf/agent-configuration.xml` - shutdown - exit 3. visit RHQ server's UI and do delete the agent platform: - #Administration/Topology/Agents Now when you try: the wrapper will start normally with correct configuration to your RHQ server. trick: agent removed from server inventory list trick: agent got configured to server (I know - just let me know if there is better way rather than manually editing that config xml) to adjust server settings
I think this is likely due to thew interactive agent and wrapper agent running as different users. By default the interactive agent will run as the logged in user. By default the wrapper agent runs as the system default user. These users will have different Java Preferences and therefore different tokens. Please re-run the test but this time set the RHQ_AGENT_RUN_AS_ME=true See: https://docs.jboss.org/author/display/RHQ/Windows+Installation#WindowsInstallation-RunningtheAgentfromtheCommandLine
