For your PowerShell tasks, you can have a
timestamp entered in series so you can determine how long a single step occurs
or to use as a logging mechanism for your scripts. I find this handy in
Graphical PowerShell when I’m testing scripts. To insert a timestamp, enter one
of the following commands as a single line within your .ps1 file:
|
Command
|
Output example
|
|
“$(Get-Date -format g) Start
logging”
|
2/5/2008 9:15 PM
|
|
“$(Get-Date -format F) Start
logging”
|
Tuesday, February 05, 2008
9:15:13 PM
|
|
“$(Get-Date -format o) Start
logging”
|
2008-02-05T21:15:13.0368750-05:00

There are many other formats for the Get-Date
command, but these three options would generally suite most applications for
timestamp purposes.
