  Huh, it disappeared. Here's a new one:

  Computer | Boot Time | Before | 1 day ago

  Thanks!
  
  I was hoping to pull this off solely in PDQ Deploy... but looks like Inventory makes the job easier!

  You can do it in Deploy as well. This script will cause the deployment to fail if the uptime is less than 1 day, but you could also save the uptime into the Registry and use a Registry Condition on the next step.

  # Grab the WMI object that contains LastBootUpTime
  $OS_Object = Get-WmiObject Win32_OperatingSystem
  
  # Convert LastBootUpTime to a DateTime object
  # https://ss64.com/ps/syntax-get-uptime.html
  $Last_Boot_Time = $OS_Object.ConvertToDateTime($OS_Object.LastBootUpTime)
  
  # Calculate uptime
  $Uptime = ( Get-Date ) - $Last_Boot_Time
  Write-Output $Uptime
  
  if ( $Uptime.Days -lt 1 ) {
  
      Exit 1
  
  }

  Here's how you would do it with a Registry Condition.

  1. Create a PowerShell Step and make it Step 1.
     

     # Grab the WMI object that contains LastBootUpTime
     $OS_Object = Get-WmiObject Win32_OperatingSystem
     
     # Convert LastBootUpTime to a DateTime object
     # https://ss64.com/ps/syntax-get-uptime.html
     $Last_Boot_Time = $OS_Object.ConvertToDateTime($OS_Object.LastBootUpTime)
     
     # Calculate uptime
     $Uptime = ( Get-Date ) - $Last_Boot_Time
     Write-Output $Uptime
     
     New-ItemProperty -Path "HKLM:\HARDWARE" -Name "System Uptime" -PropertyType "Dword" -Value $Uptime.Days -Force

  2. Set the Registry Condition of all successive steps like this:
