There are several ways to check the Microsoft Windows 'remote server' uptime information using 'SystemInfo' command line command. This is for the all the Windows versions like Windows 2000, Windows 2003, Windows 2008, Windows 2012 Server editions for both x86 and x64 bit versions.

We are trying to run the EMCRPTS___.exe (x64 / x32 bit) version on one of the server, however it is throwing some error like 'The system cannot find the specified path' and come out without prodcuing a report. Then we tried investigating why it is not running and not creating the report in c:\windows\EMCReports folder. Found that issue with the existing EMCReports folder which is causing the issue. When we run the EMCRPTS__.exe file, it tries to create a folder called EMCReports in c:\windows path. Some times, this folder already exists and won't allow to overwrite information under this. Remove the EMCReports folder from the c:\windows directory and re-run the EMCRPTS.exe file.
