is there a C function or object I can use to retrieve the time of the last system boot on a win 2k server?
I've tried digging around the msdn library, but I can't find anything there, or in the search for this forum. I'm also checking out the windows registry to see if there's any keys for it there, but it'd be nice if someone knew where I should be looking.
thanks in advance

The GetTickCount function retrieves the number of milliseconds that have elapsed since the system was started. Use a little math if you need dates or daytime.
It's limited to 49 days but I doubt if any MS product could work that long without rebooting.
thanks, that should do for now, though it'd be cool if I could find a longer term function.
This is running on a load of win2k servers, most are set to reboot every weekend, but two of them have now been up for several 1000 consecutive hours.... that is until I get on them and seriously screw up some code
thanks

No modern Microsoft OS has ever gone 49 days without needing a critical security update.
