I\'m trying to create a DateTime object with a specific UTC timestamp in PowerShell. What\'s the simplest way to do this?

I tried:

Get-Date
         


        

Answer 1

This is how it works in .NET, right? PowerShell just calls the ToUniversalTime method. From http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.datetime.touniversaltime.aspx

The Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) is equal to the local time minus the 
UTC offset. For more information about the UTC offset, see TimeZone.GetUtcOffset.
The conversion also takes into account the daylight saving time rule that applies 
to the time represented by the current DateTime object.
