How to check Uptime with Win2K

Go to your Windows Task Manager- Processes Tap- look for System Idle Process. The CPU time is your rough Uptime
 
If you use a network, then you can check how long you've been connected. This can be done through the networking properties or through the command prompt by typing net statistics workstation. Assuming you haven't restarted your networking, the time it gives is the time that you last booted. Hope this helps. If there is a command for the actual uptime via the command prompt, I would like to know.
 
Run Event Viewer and look for the most recent entry in the System Log that states "The Event log service was started.". That'll show you EXACTLY when the system was restarted...
 
Or you can do it manually.. Just push Contorl+alt+delete.
It'll tell you when you logged into that acct.. if you only yuse one.

Yes but there is a specific command. Ive seen screen shots where it said exactly how long the system has been up.
 
Open a command prompt and type the following:

net statistics workstation | more

At the top it says "statistics since ...". This will give the time since the workstation service was started, so if someone has performed the commands:

net stop workstation
net start workstation

the time up will be incorrect.
 

ok, this is too weird! i SWEAR it works on my box at home...but i just tried on my coworker's win2k box here and it doesnt.

wtf?

i'll update this thread when i get home and try it there...(i have reinstalled win2k since last time i used the command...)
 
if you use mirc, which i do, theres a command that will tell you the version you are running as well as the up time, its pretty sweet actually.







dam(/uptime)
 
sysinternals.com has an uptime.exe utility that worked with NT... only problem is it's broken in Win2K.

SUO,

that dnetc.exe info can be wrong if you spend a lot of your time actually USING your computer - and by that I mean really using your CPU. 😉
 
How would I get a program to respond even if I wasn't in that directory? Like if I put the uptime.exe in the winnt\system directory and from c:\ type uptime
 
The command your referring to uptime.exe is available for download from Microsoft's website. Just search for it in the knowledge base. It bases it's uptime estimate from the event viewer.
