Display current time with time zone in PowerShell

Question

I\'m trying to display the local time on my system with the TimeZone. How can I display time in this format the simplest way possible on any system?:

Time: 8:00:34 AM ES

You should look into DateTime format strings. Although I'm not sure they can return a time zone short name, you can easily get an offset from UTC.

$formatteddate = "{0:h:mm:ss tt zzz}" -f (get-date)

This returns:

8:00:34 AM -04:00
