It seems I have found a more correct way to detect the uptime in windows, committed fix in r9918 (of course, this is in Pro edition currently).

OK, fair enough, the PRTG document describes the issue nicely. I accept there is a valid reason for excluding Windows Server from using this value if it's going to wrap around so quickly.
Might be worth putting a comment in the code as to why "Windows" devices are excluded and then will prevent other people reporting this "bug" again.
I guess we have to live with the fact Microsoft won't support Open Standards and does things it's own proprietary way. I guess there many be something in WMI that resolves this, but that's another new "can of worms".
