SCRIPTING - HOW TO CHECK SERVER UPTIME WITH SINGLE COMMAND #part 2

In previous article I mentioned a way to check remote client/server uptime.

https://www.alessandromazzanti.com/2022/03/scripting-how-to-check-server-uptime.html

An alternative way is to execute these powershell commands:

$serverName = "NomeDelServer"

$uptime = (Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_OperatingSystem -ComputerName $serverName).ConvertToDateTime((Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_OperatingSystem -ComputerName $serverName).LastBootUpTime)

$uptime

Security #30-day notice: Manage PAC Validation related to CVE-2024-26248 & CVE-2024-29056

The Windows security updates released on or after April 9, 2024 address elevation of privilege vulnerabilities with the Kerberos PAC Validation Protocol.

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/how-to-manage-pac-validation-changes-related-to-cve-2024-26248-and-cve-2024-29056-6e661d4f-799a-4217-b948-be0a1943fef1

Take Action

IMPORTANT Step 1 to install the update released on or after April 9, 2024 will NOT fully address the security issues in CVE-2024-26248 and CVE-2024-29056 by default. To fully mitigate the security issue for all devices, you must move to Enforced mode (described in Step 3) once your environment is fully updated.

To help protect your environment and prevent outages, we recommend the following steps:

UPDATE: Windows domain controllers and Windows clients must be updated with a Windows security update released on or after April 9, 2024.
MONITOR: Audit events will be visible in Compatibility mode to identify devices not updated.
ENABLE: After Enforcement mode is fully enabled in your environment, the vulnerabilities described in CVE-2024-26248 and CVE-2024-29056 will be mitigated.
(Install the April 2025 Windows update on all Windows domain controllers and Windows clients, once it becomes available later this year. Enforcement mode will be fully enabled in your environment. This will properly mitigate the vulnerabilities described in CVE-2024-26248 and CVE-2024-29056.)

Here it is another important article:

[update 2025.04.10]

Today I would like to highlight that if you installed January 2025 patch Enforced mode will be enabled by default.
The default Enforced mode settings can be overrided by an Administrator to revert to Compatibility mode changing propter registry key on all Domain Controllers (till, April 2025)
