Log of Reboots

[wall158218]

Trying to find if there is a default command in Windows
2000 Server that will tell me a history of server reboots.
A similar command in Unix is last reboot and it will hold
the number of reboots from time back. Only other means i
can think of is to parse the event viewer log file. Any
one able to lend a hand?

The easiest way is to schedule this batch file via the Task
Scheduler, making it run at boot time:

@echo off
if not exist c:\Logs md c:\Logs
echo %date% %time%: %Computername% rebooted >> c:\Logs\Reboot.txt

2003 does this.

The only native method that would be active in Windows 2000 that I know of would be the System Event Log. You could
filter it for Event ID 6009 so it only shows the restarts.
