Listing Date and Time Information - Operating systems, scripting, PowerShell and security

Let’s start with the simplest scenario first. If all you want is the current date and time then simply call Get-Date without any additional parameters:
[crayon-6a619efa32490205538349/]
In return, you’ll get back something similar to this:
[crayon-6a619efa32496542514222/]
Ah, but suppose you want only the date, not the date and the time? Then just use the -displayhint parameter and specify date:
[crayon-6a619efa32498750628475/]
Or, if you’d prefer just the time:
[crayon-6a619efa32499681196493/]
You can also use Get-Date to create a date-time object for any date/time. For example, this command creates a variable named $A that maps to 12:00 AM on May 1, 2006:
[crayon-6a619efa3249a594053351/]
What’s that? You need to map $A to 7:00 AM on May 1, 2015? Why not:
[crayon-6a619efa3249c456207422/]
Get-Date also includes a number of methods for doing some handy-dandy date arithmetic:

AddSeconds
AddMinutes
AddHours
AddDays
AddMonths
AddYears

Need to know the date/time 137 minutes from now? This command will show you:
