Powershell Report Date Issue

[OWTech]

While creating a powershell script to email and html report containing the server name, the result, the last run time and the next run time I noticed that the last run was correctly formatted as type date but the next run was formatted as type string, and because of that displayed in US format. Is this by design? Should both not be of type date?

> (Get-VBRJob)[0].scheduleoptions.nextrun.gettype()

IsPublic IsSerial Name BaseType
-------- -------- ---- --------
True True String System.Object


> (Get-VBRJob)[0].scheduleoptions.latestrun.gettype()

IsPublic IsSerial Name BaseType
-------- -------- ---- --------
True True DateTime System.ValueType

Hi James, yes, that is by design. Thanks!

This can be turned into a datetime object by using get-date.

Code: Select all

(Get-VBRJob)[0].scheduleoptions.nextrun | get-date
