Hi,
I have been trying to find out when a Windows server was rebooted last - I found the inspector - “boot time of operating system” which I collect in an analysis which runs on each report time. I also collect the uptime in hours.
The results returned seem inconsistent - the majority of times, the time appears to be correct, but there are also results which are strange. Some servers which I know have been rebooted recently, report that they were last rebooted several weeks ago. and others which were rebooted on known date show the last reboot as several days later.
There is also inconsistencies between the uptime and the last reboot time, where the uptime says that the server has been up for longer than suggested by the boot time.
So that I can investigate this further - I would like to know where these inspectors ( boot time and uptime) get their information from, and I could then look on the servers to check the information on the server.
thanks
Niall
