Are you wanting to know when the last time it shutdown, or every time it has shutdown? - dugullett 10 years ago

Since Kace doesn't get every restart by default you might want to try a custom inventory rule. After the machine has checked in you can then turn it into a report.
ShellCommandTextReturn(powershell.exe "get-eventlog system|WHERE-OBJECT{$_.EventID -eq 1074}|sort-object timewritten|format-list timewritten,message")

this would work perfect.. thank you very much!!
It is working on 2003 server, w7 and 2012 server not on windows 2008 r2 servers any idea why it is ? - binuani 10 years ago-
I would check to make sure you can run that powershell command locally on server 08. I don't have one off hand to test on. Make sure the event ID 1074 is the same on 08. - dugullett 10 years ago

not sure why its not running... i can run it manually on the server and it works; i was able to get the output to a text file
get-eventlog system|WHERE-OBJECT{$_.EventID -eq 1074}|sort-object timewritten|format-list timewritten,message >>c:\restartlog.txt - binuani 10 years ago-
You can create a custom inventory to read that .txt file. Would it be possible for you to set up a scheduled task to run on your servers? Either that or from a KScript?
ShellCommandTextReturn(cmd.exe /c type C:\restartlog.txt)
You might even be able to use your current one that works on other OSs, and use an OR (not tested).
ShellCommandTextReturn(powershell.exe "get-eventlog system|WHERE-OBJECT{$_.EventID -eq 1074}|sort-object timewritten|format-list timewritten,message") OR ShellCommandTextReturn(cmd.exe /c type C:\restartlog.txt) - dugullett 10 years ago
