Resolution
*Warning: Irreparable database damage can occur. This procedure should only be performed by users familiar with SQL Server Management Studio. Databases should be backed up prior to performing this procedure.*
Listed below are three methods to find the last time SQL Server server/service was restarted.
Method 1
The first method uses the fact that 'tempdb' will be recreated with every restart. We can check the created date (crdate) from master..sysdatabases.
SELECT crdate FROM master..sysdatabases WHERE name ='tempdb'
Method 2
The second method checks the master..sysprocesses database and check for the minimum value in the 'login_time' column.
SELECT MIN(login_time) FROM master..sysprocesses
Method 3
Examine the Windows Event Viewer and search for the most recent event indicating that the SQL server service was started.
- Right click on the Start button and select Control Panel > System & Security and double-click Administrative tools
- Double-click Event Viewer
- Select the type of logs that you wish to review (ex: Application, System)
NOTE: To access the Application Logs once in Event Viewer, go to Windows Logs > Application, for shutdown errors refer to Application and System logs.
