Test connectivity over a 24 hour period

Possible network problem. I want to run a ping for 12 hours or so that will export the output of the results into a text file or analyzing. I also want each line item of the ping to have the time on it when it was run. I have seen some examples online but they are not working for me. would like to use cmd prompt but am open to powershell if that is a better option.
could someone show me an example of this?

You should know that 'ping' doesn't tell you that any other protocols like HTTP are working. It does tell you that you have the basic connection working. I've had a server that had nothing but 'ping' working. No website, no email.

we think the network is dropping but can't pinpoint the times... I think the ping might be a good first step to knowing

It well could be if you are actually losing the connection. I always feel a need to point out that ping doesn't check anything else.

when I run that .bat logic... I get a ton of line items popping up saying.
the process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process
