When a Beat is installed with our service install scripts (install-service-metricbeat.ps1), the script will change the default data path to follow Windows convention.
The new data path will be C:\ProgramData\metricbeat or ``C:\ProgramData\filebeat`. If a user tries to enroll beats without specifying the correct data path, the beat will be enrolled to CM with the wrong UUID and will never receive the configuration.
To fix the problem you can specify at enroll time the new data path using the -path.data option.

[CM] Improve documentation with CM when Filebeat
[CM] Improve documentation with CM when Filebeat is installed as a service on Windows

@ph I will update the docs, but I'm concerned that users might overlook this. They might copy the command generated by the CM UI and run it without reading the docs at all. Is there any way to add something to the command generated by the U?
BTW, is this a problem on other platforms besides windows?
