==== Improper (US) Formatting ==== | |||
Be aware that if you live somewhere dates are normally formatted properly (eg not the USA), then Powershell (or the underlying DateTime object type) has a nasty habit of returning a string formatted with day and month swapped around when coming from a script. | |||
If you do a <code> Get-Date </code> it all looks fine, but then you output a DateTime object in a script to some text and its wrong. Add the <code> .ToString() </code> method to the end at it'll sort itself, though quite why when Powershell is converting the object into a string anyway, the object needs to be explicitly told to fix the issue, seems a bit superfluous. | |||
