Getting Last Known Reboot Time
This is more of an aide-memoir for me than anything else.
To find out when a server was last rebooted:
- System Event Log, filter for EventID 6009
- on Windows 2008 you can use systeminfo | find “System Boot Time”
- I think this works on other versions of Windows Server as well, but the text might be different so you might have to go looking for it.
- You’re supposed to be able to use net statistics server and examine the first line (Statistics since …) but for me that was 01/01/1980. Would have been impressed if it was true…
