How get Win32_OperatingSystem.LastBootUpTime in datetime format

Question

I have been trying to get LastBootUpTime using Win32_OperatingSystem class (WMI).

HRESULT hr = pEnumerator->Next(WBEM_INFINITE, 1, 
        &pclsObj, &         


        

Answer 1

You'll have to do some parsing to convert it. The format is yyyyMMddhhmmss.ffffff+zzz (zzz is UTC offset in minutes). The SWbemDateTime.GetVarDate() method can do it for you.

Answer 2

You can safely ignore anything after the decimal point as in the format yyyymmddhhmmss..
