Get Last Reboot or Computer Up Time With PowerShell
Hey everyone, hope you had a great 2015 and I am back with I hope to be weekly updates for everyone at PowerShell.org. I wrote up a quick article on how to retrieve the last reboot time or the current up time for any local or remote computer. I also include a function that can be used to query remote computers as well. There may be a situation where you want to determine whether you take action depending on the last reboot time, or you may simply want it to be displayed for debugging or logging purposes.

Only files that have a picture or video metadata type will be processed. The script uses the date taken for pictures and the media created metadata fields to organize the photos and videos. If there is no date taken or media created available for a given file, the script will use the modify date instead. The script also ensures that you won’t have any duplicate files by checking the file hashes of the two files in question. If the script detects duplicate files, it will only keep one copy of the file.
