When I install Windows updates, or perform other maintenance that at some point involves one or more automatic reboots, I've had the same challenge over and over again for years:
-
How can I check if the network connection to a specific device was interrupted and how can I log this with timecode? Even if the interruption lasted only a few seconds, as is common when rebooting a VM.
-
How can I find out when and how long the network connection interruption (= reboot) occurred without a long search in logfiles?
-
Is there any way to solve this challenge without special software? Only with Windows tools like PowerShell?
