Title
Default powershell report report.ps1 fails with error "Could not convert string to datetime" -
Description
An attempt to run the provided report - reports.ps1 monitoring servers fails with the following error:
"Could not convert string to datetime".
-
Cause
PowerShell uses the system locale to determine the default character set, and the time and date format. Dependent on location the system locale set may not be appropriate.PowerShell may be using a locale to read a date format as month/day/year, where the format may need to be day/month/year.For example:PowerShell cannot determine that 16/03/2015 is March 16th, it cannot determine the 16th month, 3rd day. -
Resolution
Check your Locale 'Time and Date' Format to ensure it is set accordingly.
