Manipulating dates and times
DateTime objects may be created in several ways. The Get-Date command is one of these. The DateTime type has several static methods that can be used, and an instance of DateTime has methods that might be used.
Working with dates includes converting a string representing a date into a DateTime object or finding a date that is relative to the current date and time.
