Powershell's Get-date: How to get Yesterday at 22:00 in a variable?

Question

For a check i need yesterday's date at 10:00pm in a variable.

I get yesterdays Date and current Time with

$a = (get-date).AddDays(-1)

But how do i manipulate the time to 22.00 and leave the variable still as Date-Object?

Answer 1

Use DateTime.Today as opposed to DateTime.Now (which is what Get-Date returns) because Today is just the date with 00:00 as the time, and now is the moment in time down to the millisecond. (from masenkablast)

> [DateTime]::Today.AddDays(-1).AddHours(22)
