How to find out your server uptime

April 11, 2008

Using Uptime utility from Microsoft you can get your server uptime (i.e time since the last reboot) which can come in handy particularly when you are trying to troubleshoot a server’s unexpected reboot and failures.

Uptime.exe can be used to display the current uptime of the local or remote system. Optionally, it can also scan the Event log for key system events such as system restart or computers that are not responding (hanging). Where possible, it also calculates system availability. It is primarily intended for Windows NT Server 4.0 Service Pack 4 or later, though it operates in limited fashion on earlier versions.

You can download it from the link below and drop it on the root of the c:\ or where you wish and the command line to run is simply uptime
