This is something I should know how to do but am blanking on.

I use this command:

WMIC os getlastbootuptime

to check Windows servers after patching with BladeLogic. Is there a way to output the time in an easier-to-read format? For instance, I get

LastBootUpTime
20140211042406.359375-300

I would like to see it as 2014/02/11_04:24. I don't care about the seconds, etc.

Thanks in advance,
LaurelynThis should help you out:

Code: [Select]@echo off
setlocal

for /f "skip=1" %%i in ('wmic os get lastbootuptime') do (
SET string=%%i
goto next
)

:next
echo %string:~0,4%/%string:~4,2%/%string:~6,2%_%string:~8,2%:%string:~10,2%

Good Luck That works nicely, Sidewinder, thank you. I was thinking there was some way to do it all on a single command line but that's probably wishful Unix thinking. Seems like it would be just as easy to get it from the SystemInfo utility.
Code: [Select]H:\>systeminfo | find "System Boot Time"
System Boot Time: 2/11/2014, 7:08:39 AMFormat varies with system locale

Code: [Select]System Boot Time: 11/02/2014, 17:43:13Alternative:

for /f "tokens=1-2*" %%A in ('net statistics workstation ^| find "Statistics since"') do echo %%C

Code: [Select]11/02/2014 17:43:28Code: [Select]@echo off
for /f "tokens=1,2" %%a in ('dir c:\pagefile.sys /a-d ^|find /i ".sys" ') do echo %%a %%b

12/02/2014 21:42

but the format will conform to your regional settings.... and it assumes your pagefile is on C: (mine is on W:)

Ever since I installed XP in 2001

to carry on this practice now I am running Windows from an SSD.
