Windows Server restart / shutdown history

The clearest most succinct answer I could find is:

which lists these event ids to monitor (quoted but edited and reformatted from article):

  • Event ID 6005 (alternate): “The event log service was started.” This is synonymous to system startup.
  • Event ID 6006 (alternate): “The event log service was stopped.” This is synonymous to system shutdown.
  • Event ID 6008 (alternate): “The previous system shutdown was unexpected.” Records that the system started after it was not shut down properly.
  • Event ID 6009 (alternate): Indicates the Windows product name, version, build number, service pack number, and operating system type detected at boot time.
  • Event ID 6013: Displays the uptime of the computer. There is no TechNet page for this id.

Add to that a couple more from the Server Fault answers listed in my OP:

  • Event ID 1074 (alternate): “The process X has initiated the restart / shutdown of computer on behalf of user Y for the following reason: Z.” Indicates that an application or a user initiated a restart or shutdown.
  • Event ID 1076 (alternate): “The reason supplied by user X for the last unexpected shutdown of this computer is: Y.” Records when the first user with shutdown privileges logs on to the computer after an unexpected restart or shutdown and supplies a reason for the occurrence.

Did I miss any?
