Windows Server Event IDs for finding boot time and relevant information
Hi,
For a customer on-premises Windows based environment with mix of Servers 2012, 2016 and 2019, there is a need to generate a report of servers through a PowerShell script with following information
SerialNumber | System | SystemAvailability | TotalUptime | TotalDowntime | TotalReboots | MeanTimeBetweenReboots |
1 | SRV10 | 99.98% | 20d 12h:46m:30s | 0d 0h:5m:3s | 4 | 5.13 days |
2 | SRV11 | 100.00% | 30d 11h:32m:22s | 0d 0h:1m:41s | 4 | 7.62 days |
Above data is what we are trying to compile based on each Server's "Windows Event Viewer".
Question: What are the events those can help us to compile a customized script to produce above output? Some of the events that I am aware of 6005, 6006. Are there any other events those can help?
Any other ideas those can help us. Please note, customer needs this report generated through a script NOT through any tool such as SCCM or SCOM or any third party..... 🙂
Thank you!
