PowerShell Convert Time\String\Integer

Question

Hi - random PowerShell question (I do seem to ask more PowerShell questions than Adaxes questions...!).

We have a little bit of code to return the current value of an AD attribute as below, and it should update a different timestamp attribute in AD after reading it.

I have it almost working but am 'very' bad at working out how to properly convert variables in PowerShell, and need to create "$newNums" which is derived from a Date\Time stamp, into a Windows NT time numeric value, then into an Adaxes.ADSI.LongInteger (I think!).

        # Set new timestampin 24 hours
        $newTime = (Get-Date).AddDays(1)

        $newNums= << Can’t work out how to convert the GetDate format timestamp to a “Windows Time” Adaxes format Long Integer>>

        $pc.Put("<<attribute>>", $newNums)
        $pc.SetInfo()  

Anyone who can work this out is my hero..!

Hello,

This one will work:

# Set new timestampin 24 hours
$newTime = (Get-Date).AddDays(1)

$newNums= [Softerra.Adaxes.Adsi.ADsLargeInteger]$newTime.ToFileTime()

$pc.Put("<<attribute>>", $newNums)
$pc.SetInfo()

Thanks - it's always so easy when you see it on paper!
