    Hello all,

    I used to use the 'srvinfo' command to get the uptime of the Server...

    How else can you find the uptime of the a W2K Server?

    Thanks

    Either pull it out of WMI using your preferred scripting language, or use psinfo.

    I just have scripts for things like this.

    WMI is an programatic interface to Windows, used for getting information concerning just about anything in your system. This will give you a quick uptime in minutes:

    Script (XP/2003 system)

    Nathan is quite right though, that CLI tool will work just fine. It's all about what you're familiar with.

    It's just an exe dude. I believe that can even be ran on your machine and targetted at the server if you want.
