How can the amount of time a windows 2000 server has been online be verified?

Use the Microsoft uptime utility (Uptime.exe), which ships with the Windows 2000 Resource Kit and is available on the Microsoft Web site. It displays uptime (as well as other statistics, such as the number of
reboots, the mean time between reboots, and the date and time of all shutdowns and boots).

An alternative is Sysinternals' free utility called PsUptime is especially useful because you can get its entire source code and modify it at will.

If you don't have a specific uptime utility available when you need it, or if you don't want to browse through all the events in the Event Viewer, you can use the built-in net utility. Type net statistics server in the command prompt, and you'll get the date and time of the system startup. (Note: You'll only get the data for the server service. Also, the data might not tell you much if you've stopped and restarted the server service since the last boot.)

Hope this helps. Good luck....

check the network adaptec for uptime and this will tell you exactly how long the machine has been up.
