This script assumes you have a Microsoft Notepad (.txt) file titled Server_Uptime.txt in the C:\Scripts directory that contains the Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) of each server for the report.

Below you may view a sample report. For security reasons, I have removed the FQDN of each server as well as it’s Internet Protocol (IP) address.
