How to find Window's OS uptime?

Surprising?? Huh?? Unix Administrator talking about windows :)

But like Unix, I tend to keep my laptop up and running (or standby). And sometime, I need to know the uptime because some of Microsoft updates need reboot to take effects.

Here is how to find windows's uptime:

C:\>net statistics server
Server Statistics for \\laptop123


Statistics since 10/7/2009 6:15 PM


Sessions accepted                  1
Sessions timed-out                 0
Sessions errored-out               0

Kilobytes sent                     0
Kilobytes received                 0

Mean response time (msec)          0

System errors                      0
Permission violations              0
Password violations                0

Files accessed                     0
Communication devices accessed     0
Print jobs spooled                 0

Times buffers exhausted

  Big buffers                      0
  Request buffers                  0

The command completed successfully.

Note the green line is the uptime (or the time system last booted).

More Unix way is shown below:

C:\>net stats srv | grep since
