PowerShell Tips: Date and Time Usage in Scripts

PowerShell: Get-Date Tips

We have seen and experienced many ways of using PowerShell Get-Date and [DateTime]. Comparing to Get-Date, [Datetime] is faster by a few milliseconds. However, both do the same job. I always prefer to use [DateTime] rather than Get-Date. DateTime is a ScriptProperty of Get-Date.
