Actually, there are lots of approaches to check system uptime. For instance, you may use one of the following:
1. "WMI" test method with the following query: select SystemUpTime from Win32_PerfFormattedData_PerfOS_System
SystemUpTime counter shows the elapsed time (in seconds) that the computer has been running after it was last started.

2. "Performance Counter" test method with "System" performance object and "System Up Time" counter.
"System\System Up Time" counter tells you how many seconds it's been since your server last rebooted.

Both foregoing methods shows you system uptime in seconds. So, two weeks = 14 days = 14 * 24 = 336 hours = 336 * 60 = 20160 minutes = 20160*60 = 1209600 seconds. So for this tests you may set "Alert when value > 1209600" option.
Also you may use "Tune up" reply option. To get system uptime in hours, you should [%SuggestedReply% div 3600] expression, in days - [%SuggestedReply% div 86400] With this option enabled, you should specify alert threshold in hours and days accordingly.
3. Also you may use "SNMP Get" test method and request 1.3.6.1.2.1.1.3.0 OID to retrieve system UpTime value in hundredths of a second. Of course, this method will work only if SNMP Service is running on the target system.

4. You may write simple VBS or JS script, like you have for boot time check, and use "Active Script" test method.
