Computer Uptime? Isnt there a Windows way.

I was looking for something just to tell when my server was last booted(How
long it's been up). I seem to remember doing something from the command line
before to give me the information, however I am unabe to find it. It is
possible that I had seen it at the DHCP snap-in.This shows the time DHCP has
been up, but I want to check another server thats not a DHCP. After looking
through all my books couldnt find anything, so I did a search on the web and
there are all kinds of software to tell you this. I know theres a command
line way though, certain I used it before. Thanks for the help.

Hi,

You could use this:

net statistics server | more

It will output something like this:

****************************
Server Statistics for \\MIKE

Statistics since 11/24/2004 5:04 PM
****************************

This would indicate that my PC was last booted on Nov 24th at 5:04 PM.

I hope this helps,

Mike

Another, much more verbose, method is to open a command prompt and enter the
command: systeminfo

The uptime will be relatively near the top.

This works in windows xp as well as windows 2003. I'm not sure about
windows 2000/nt

You can even filter it out if you run:

systeminfo | find "System Up Time:"

or if you run this

Start -> Run -> cmd /k systeminfo | find "System Up Time:"

To add to the list one can open Task Manager and look for the CPU time for
system idle process. -- Steve
