Is there any easy script that will take current datetime and convert to CEST and account for DST also? I want to use that in my file name
to help identify when process was ran.
Thanks

#using Powershell
Get-Date -UFormat "%A %B/%d/%Y %T %Z"
$Time = Get-Date
$Time.ToUniversalTime()

#Using .Net
[System.TimeZoneInfo]::GetSystemTimeZones( )
[System.TimeZoneInfo]::ConvertTimeBySystemTimeZoneId( (Get-Date), 'Greenwich Standard Time')

Thanks..

$Date = Get-Date

$TimeZone = Get-TimeZone -Id "Central Europe Standard Time"

$OtherDate = [System.TimeZoneInfo]::ConvertTime( $Date, $TimeZone )

$OtherDate

How do I format $OtherDate into the file name, and also account for DST in my example?

Example output needed..
