When i try

```auto
bin\elasticsearch --enrollment-token MyErrollMent

```

It show an error

```auto
ERROR: Skipping security auto configuration because it appears that the node is not starting up for the first time. The node might already be part of a cluster and this auto setup utility is designed to configure Security for new clusters only.

```

I have seen a few posts about this error and i try :

1. run **bin/elasticsearch-reconfigure-node**
2. start elasticsearch service
3. run **bin\elasticsearch-create-enrollment-token -s node**
4. run bin\elasticsearch --enrollment-token   
and I still get this error.

My cluster heal is green.
