about_MyUptime SHORT DESCRIPTION The commands in this module are intended to make it easier to get uptime data from your servers. The commands rely on WSMan and the Get-Ciminstance cmdlet to get information from the Win32_OperatingSystem class. LONG DESCRIPTION You can run these commands from any computer running PowerShell 5.0. The remote computer must be running at least PowerShell 3.0 and be able to respond to the Test-WSMan cmdlet. The default behavior is to use a computer name, but you can also use a pre-defined CimSession. The commands in this module will write a custom object to the pipeline. The main command will create an uptime object. You can use this object to pipe to other commands to get time zone and local time information. EXAMPLES Get a quick check on a single server: PS C:\> Get-MyUptime chi-core01 Computername LastRebootTime Days Hours Minutes Seconds ------------ -------------- ---- ----- ------- ------- CHI-CORE01 7/18/2018 3:33:12 PM 1 18 51 29 Get uptime from multiple servers using the custom table view: PS C:\> Get-MyUptime chi-core01,chi-p50,chi-fp02 | format-table -view uptime Computername LastRebootTime Uptime ------------ -------------- ------ CHI-CORE01 7/18/2018 3:33:12 PM 1.18:52:39.6824738 CHI-P50 7/20/2018 9:59:29 AM 00:26:22.7829936 CHI-FP02 6/15/2018 1:07:42 PM 34.21:18:09.9342691 Using CIM Sessions: PS C:\> $cs = New-CimSession chi-core01,chi-p50,chi-fp02,chi-dc04 PS C:\> $cs | Get-MyUptime -outvariable up| Sort Uptime -Descending Computername LastRebootTime Days Hours Minutes Seconds ------------ -------------- ---- ----- ------- ------- CHI-FP02 6/15/2018 1:07:42 PM 34 21 20 37 CHI-DC04 7/5/2018 4:36:59 PM 14 17 51 20 CHI-CORE01 7/18/2018 3:33:12 PM 1 18 55 8 CHI-P50 7/20/2018 9:59:29 AM 0 0 28 51 The preceding example also saved the output to a variable which can be used later to get time zone and local time information. PS C:\> $up | Get-MyTimeZone Computername Caption CurrentTimeZone ------------ ------- --------------- CHI-P50 (UTC-05:00) Eastern Time (US & Canada) -240 CHI-DC04 (UTC-05:00) Eastern Time (US & Canada) -240 CHI-FP02 (UTC-05:00) Eastern Time (US & Canada) -240 CHI-CORE01 (UTC-06:00) Central Time (US & Canada) -300 PS C:\> $up | Get-MyLocalTime Computername LocalDateTime ------------ ------------- CHI-P50 7/20/2018 10:28:42 AM CHI-DC04 7/20/2018 10:28:42 AM CHI-FP02 7/20/2018 10:28:42 AM CHI-CORE01 7/20/2018 10:28:42 AM Finally, when using a variable, you may want to refresh it to get current data. PS C:\> $up | select computername,uptime Computername Uptime ------------ ------ CHI-P50 00:29:35.8185060 CHI-DC04 14.17:52:05.4841613 CHI-FP02 34.21:21:22.5264640 CHI-CORE01 1.18:55:53.2479797 PS C:\> $up | Update-MyUptime PS C:\> $up | select computername,uptime Computername Uptime ------------ ------ CHI-P50 00:34:15.2782411 CHI-DC04 14.17:56:44.9794037 CHI-FP02 34.21:26:02.0493251 CHI-CORE01 1.19:00:32.8009587 TROUBLESHOOTING NOTE There are no known issues at this time.
