Answer 1

I know this is old but Google led me here. I'm using Invoke-RestMethod to send/receive JSON data, including timestamps in the /Date(1411704000000)/ format. I managed to convert from PowerShell to JSON using the following:

[System.DateTime]$(Get-Date).DateTime

Example:

@{DateTime = [System.DateTime]$(Get-Date).DateTime} | ConvertTo-Json

Returns:

{
    "DateTime":  "\/Date(1484023637000)\/"
}
