Get-TimeZone in PowerShell
Get-TimeZone in PowerShell
The Get-TimeZone command in PowerShell returns the current Time Zone of a computer, or it can be used to list all available Time Zones which will be useful if you’re planning on making changes to timezones.
In this post I’m showing 2 examples of how to check Timezone with PowerShell:
# Get the Time Zone of a Local Computer in PowerShell
# Script to Output Available Time Zones to a Local CSV File
Get the Time Zone of a Local Computer in PowerShell
Running Get-TimeZone
in PowerShell will return the currently set timezone of the local Windows Computer.
# get timezone powershell Get-TimeZone
Script to Output Available Time Zones to a Local CSV File
The PowerShell script below will output all available timezones to a local directory.
# output available timezones to a local directory $path = "c:\temp\" $output_file_name = "timezones_available.csv" $full_output_path = $path + $output_file_name If(!(test-path $path)) { New-Item -ItemType Directory -Force -Path $path } Get-TimeZone -ListAvailable | Export-Csv -Path $full_output_path -NoTypeInformation -Force
I saved this script to my c:\temp and ran:
The CSV will contain all timezones available, which is useful if amending timezones. The Set-TimeZone Microsoft Documentation page will help with this task.
As ever, I hope this guide has been a useful one. Feel free to check out my PowerShell Tips page for more random PowerShell informational guides.
