Hi @NGaur-3476 ,

maybe this helps:

$tzName = "Central European Standard Time"  
$cestDateTime = [System.TimeZoneInfo]::ConvertTimeBySystemTimeZoneId((Get-Date), $tzName)  
$tzName = "India Standard Time"  
$istDateTime  = [System.TimeZoneInfo]::ConvertTimeBySystemTimeZoneId((Get-Date), $tzName)  
$tzName = "Eastern Standard Time"  
$estDateTime = [System.TimeZoneInfo]::ConvertTimeBySystemTimeZoneId((Get-Date), $tzName)  
  
$cestDateTime  
$istDateTime   
$estDateTime  

The result will look like this:

Hi @NGaur-3476 ,

please try this to work with a static time instead of the current time:

$tzName = "Eastern Standard Time"  
[System.TimeZoneInfo]::ConvertTimeBySystemTimeZoneId((Get-Date '15:00'), $tzName)
