Echo out "Original Boot Time" from systeminfo command
Hey Experts!
I have a script that outputs the systeminfo from a remote computer. This information is used for a couple of things but I'd like to improve on that script so that ONLY the "Original Boot Time" line is echo'd out, not the entire output of the command.
Suggestions on how to script this with a batch script, please.
Here is the masterpiece I wrote so far (holding back your LOL would be appreciated).

Hi NVIT. The script (all 2 lines) in located in the bottom portion of my question above. Thanks!

set computeraudit=
set /p "computeraudit=Enter in user's first name or string: "
for /f "tokens=2 delims=" %%a in ('systeminfo /s \\%computeraudit%' find /i "Original Boot Time"') do echo %%aThe last line does NOT work like I want it to so don't integrate it into your reply please.

@BP, that works. Thanks!
I'm going to check the others real quick and then award points/close this out.

Here is a update to mine, much faster than systeminfo. Just for display here at least.
@echo off
for /f "tokens=2 delims='='" %%a in ('wmic os get lastbootuptime /value') do call :format %%a
pause
exit /b
:format
set long=%1
set nyear=%long:~0,4%
set nmonth=%long:~4,2%
set nday=%long:~6,2%
set nhour=%long:~8,2%
set nminute=%long:~10,2%
echo Last boot time: %nmonth%/%nday%/%nyear% at %nhour%:%nminute%
exit /bASKER
@NVIT, I copied your reply and used it as the last line in the script. I get this error message when I use it:
ERROR: The RPC server is unavailable
@Gabriel Clifton, it works. Thanks.

@GC, on the new one you posted, how do I enter in a remote hostname?
Yes, i had just realized that
@echo off
for /f "tokens=2 delims='='" %%a in ('wmic /node:%computername% os get lastbootuptime /value') do call :format %%a
pause
exit /b
:format
set long=%1
set nyear=%long:~0,4%
set nmonth=%long:~4,2%
set nday=%long:~6,2%
set nhour=%long:~8,2%
set nminute=%long:~10,2%
echo Last boot time: %nmonth%/%nday%/%nyear% at %nhour%:%nminute%
exit /b
You get the RPC error just with mine? Did it work with Bill's?. Strange.
ASKER
@GC, that is way quicker. I made one tweak as you used the variable "computername" instead of "computeraudit".
Very fast and clean script!

@NVIT, here is the script I'm using (please verify I didn't fat-finger something)

I think I see one of the issues on your script for NVIT
@echo off
set computeraudit=
set /p computeraudit=Enter computer name:
for /f "tokens=2 delims=" %%a in ('systeminfo /s \\%computeraudit% ^| find /i "Boot Time"') do echo %%a
