Windows Command Line Tools: System uptime

gjacobse

Some dispute on the up time of a server

C:\Users\user>systeminfo | find "System Boot Time"
System Boot Time:          10/5/2015, 9:07:18 AM

That settled it.

That doesn't work inside of a VM. It only tells you when the VM was started up, won't tell you if the system went down in the interim.

You'll need to look at the hypervisor if you want to know if you lost power, for example.

gjacobse

Good point.
In this case that was the Host

The actual DC shows this

C:\Users\use>systeminfo | find "System Boot Time"
System Boot Time:          11/21/2015, 6:20:01 PM

It appears that you are running this via powershell and not cmd. Is that correct?
(Just thought I'd double check)

@nadnerB nope, cmd

scottalanmiller

For CMD try this one: net statistics workstation

@nadnerB nope, cmd

Cool! I didn't expect the | parameter to work in CMD.
New thing for today learned, going home.

Yes via CMD
