Two Simple Ways to Find Last SQL Server Restart

The first command below will tell you the last time the SQL Server service was started. The second will tell you the last time the server itself was restarted.

-- Format will be:  2013-01-19 14:13:53.243 
select sqlserver_start_time from sys.dm_os_sys_info

-- Look for the row like:  Statistics since 1/18/2013 12:27:01 PM 
exec xp_cmdshell 'net statistics server'
