Windows 2000 Server Event Viewer

[Guest Mark J]

I am currently using windows 2000 server. My problem is that I need to

create a report on the amount of times the server is rebooted/restarted. Does

anybody know what the event id would be when the server is shutting down or

restarting/rebooting?.

There is a very, very simple way to find out: Reboot the server,

then examine the Event Log. You will find several numbers in

the 600x range that are meaningful.

 

To create your report automatically in future, use the Task

Scheduler to run the following batch file at boot time::

@echo off

if not exist c:\Logs md c:\Logs

echo %date% %time% %ComputerName% rebooted >> c:\Logs\Boot.log
