How to Get Server Reboot Time?

I am writing in C# .NET and am using System.Environm ent.TickCount
(32-bit integer) to get the number of milliseconds since the server was
rebooted.

The problem is that the server has been up for over 30 days and the
32-bit integer is coming back negative. Of course, I can extend it
with zeros and make it a 64-bit integer, but what will happen after 60
days or so?

Will the C# code then loop around through zero and start reporting a
low number of milliseconds?

Or, better yet, was it a sure-fire way to find out when the server was
rebooted?

(I can use WMI if necessary).

Is there a way (through a variable) to show the date of the last server reboot i.e. when PHP last started running? As I am trying to show the server uptime, which of course only works from the last reboot, therefore my %ages are very low. Cheers, Ben

Hi everybody ! I´m maintaining a large intranet (approx 10000 concurrent users) running on one IIS box and one DB box with sqlserver 2000.

I created a simple C# .Net application to prove I can deploy it on a Win2k server running terminal services. I installed the 1.1 .Net Framework and installed the application (using a VS Setup app) on the machine. It runs perfectly when I log in as Administrator but generates an exception when I run it as any other user. Do I need a reboot or something after installing the framework? Do I need to tweak something in the .Net framework...

I have a strange situation whereby I must un-install and re-install ASP.NET every time I reboot the server. When the server is rebooted and I try to access a web application it reads: "Server Application Unavailable" If I then go to control-panel and uninstall .NET Framework and then reinstall .NET Framework, it works again, but only until the next reboot. Thanks in advance for any help.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
