The below script gathers the following system startup time information from a local or remote client.

Computername
Last Wakeup time (from Sleep, Hibernate or Fast boot on Windows 8x clients) The last wakeup date/time is converted from UTC into the client local time.
Last Boot time
The Time Zone of the client
The system wakeup / sleep message from the Windows event log

Important: the script uses PowerShell remoting, it’s therefore required that the targeted clients have WinRM enabled.
