Depending on your system locale you might have to set the locale to get the correct date representation:

$locale = New-Object System.Globalization.CultureInfo("en-US");
$timeString = $now.ToString("yyyy/MM/dd/HHmmss", $locale)

In my case the German locale superceeded the format string and used '.' instead of '/'.

@FriesischScott

Wie hast du es zum Laufen bekommen?

@DieGardine

Genau wie es FriesischScott beschrieben hat.

$locale = New-Object System.Globalization.CultureInfo("en-US");
$timeString = $now.ToString("yyyy/MM/dd/HHmmss", $locale)

Hinter Zeile 22 einfügen und Script ausführen.
