Use DateTime Today as opposed to DateTime Now  which is what Get-Date returns  because Today is just the date with 00 00 as the time  and now is the moment in time down to the millisecond   from masenkablast    gt   DateTime   Today AddDays -1  AddHours 22  Thursday  March 11  2010 10 00 00 PM

I saw in at least one other place that people don t realize Date-Time takes in times as well  so I figured I d share it here since it s really short to do so   Get-Date   Following the OP s example  let s say it s Friday  March 12  2010 9 00 00 AM  Get-Date  22 00   AddDays -1    Thursday  March 11  2010 10 00 00 PM   It s also the shortest way to strip time information and still use other parameters of Get-Date  For instance you can get seconds since 1970 this way  Unix timestamp    Get-Date  0 00  -u   s    1268352000   Or you can get an ISO 8601 timestamp   Get-Date  0 00  -f  s    2010-03-12T00 00 00   Then again if you reverse the operands  it gives you a little more freedom with formatting with any date object    The sortable timestamp   0 s Z 1 Vs measly human format   0 D   -f  Get-Date  0 00      r n    The sortable timestamp  2010-03-12T00 00 00Z   Vs measly human format  Friday  March 12  2010   However if you wanted to both format a Unix timestamp  via -u aka -UFormat   you ll need to do it separately  Here s an example of that    ISO 8601   0 s Z 1 Unix   2   -f  Get-Date  0 00      r n    Get-Date  0 00  -u   s     ISO 8601  2010-03-12T00 00 00Z   Unix  1268352000   Hope this helps
