Create datetime object of other timezone in Powershell
This solution worked well for me:
$cstzone = [System.TimeZoneInfo]::FindSystemTimeZoneById("Central Standard Time")$csttime = [System.TimeZoneInfo]::ConvertTimeFromUtc((Get-Date).ToUniversalTime(), $cstzone)You can then manipulate the $csttime variable just like a datetime object:
Get-Date $csttime.AddHours(-1) -f "MM\dd\yyyy HH:mm:ss"References: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.timezoneinfo.converttimefromutc(v=vs.110).aspxhttp://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee692801.aspx
Working with TimeZones can get pretty tricky. Thank god for the updates they added in .NET 3.5 and 4.0. I worked on several time zone projects and in 2.0 is was nearly impossible without iterating the registry and building your own list of TimeZones.
Now you can get a list of TimeZones by using the TimeZoneInfo class (which you seem to be familiar with):http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.timezoneinfo.aspx
Just beware that a system that may not be updating automatically from Windows Update could potentially have different time zones than a system that is totally up to date. Microsoft pushes out updates for time zones when needed.
I think your code seems OK. To be honest, I'm not much of a PowerShell dev (C# for me), but it seems good.
