Quick Question!

Anyone know of a MS utility or otherwise to check uptime on server? Or more
specifically when the server was last rebooted? I am running Windows 2000 n
2003 servers

Hi

A)
Uptime.exe in the Windows 2000 Resource Kit (buy-ware).

And if you don't have the Win2k Resource Kit, a NT4/Win2k version
is available as a free download, I would guess it works against
newer OS as well:

http://www.microsoft.com/ntserver/nts/downloads/management/uptime/default.asp


B)
Or you can e.g. use PsInfo.exe for this:

Local computer: Psinfo.exe uptime
Remote computer: Psinfo.exe uptime \\somecomputer

PSInfo.exe is in the in the free PsTools suite found at
http://www.sysinternals.com/


C)

Or you can use VBScript/WMI for this:

Look into System log for events 6005 and 6009.

You couls use any of the utilities mentioned in any of the posts that have
preceded mine, or you could just check the date/time on the pagefile using
Explorer and work it out from there.

Hi

I just tested uptime.exe (from the download link in my first post
on a Win2k3 Server and it worked fine. Note that you need to run
it in a command prompt to see the output.

 

[Vee]

I will give UPtime another try on a different W2k3 Server- (however not a
big fan of this utility)

Sameh, if you would please post your VB script;
Thanks a bunch!!

actually it's VB.NET application, WMI also
I copied this script below for you from the script center
Set dtmConvertedDate =
CreateObject("WbemScripting.SWbemDateTime")strComputer = "."Set
objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" _ &
"{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")Set
colOperatingSystems = objWMIService.ExecQuery _ ("Select * from
Win32_OperatingSystem")For Each objOS in colOperatingSystems
dtmConvertedDate.Value = objOS.LastBootUpTime dtmLastBootUpTime =
dtmConvertedDate.GetVarDate dtmSystemUptime = DateDiff("d",
dtmLastBootUpTime, Now) Wscript.Echo dtmSystemUptime Next

Hi

Note that the script above will not work if you run it from a
Windows 2000 computer (the "WbemScripting.SWbemDateTime" object
is not available there).

Also, objOS.LastBootUpTime is known to often not return a value
for some reason (bug).

Here is another VBScript/WMI script that will work on Win2k and
up (using SystemUpTime from Win32_PerfRawData_PerfOS_System):

Vee,

How about " net statistics workstation | more " . This always works!

Pagefile.sys date and time perhaps be what you want?

I think you can see that in "Event Viewer" !!
