Creating a DateTime object with a specific UTC DateTime in PowerShell

Question

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

The DateTime object itself is being created with the proper UTC time. But when PowerShell prints it out it converts it to my local culture and time zone, thus the difference.

Proof:

$UtcTime = Get-Date -Date "1970-01-01 00:00:00Z"
$UtcTime.ToUniversalTime()
