Vista - Problem formatting date

I have obtained the date from particular eventlog entries but require the day
and month to swap order (dd/mm/yyyy to mm/dd/yyyy) in order to be able to
compare to pwdlastset obtained from ADSI - I have come up with the following
but although it seems to work it provides reoccuring output - can someone
offer as to why?

Many Thanks

$events = get-eventlog Security -newest 2000 | where {($_.EventID -eq 642)
-and ($_.UserName -eq "TestDomain\Administrator")}
Foreach($event in $events)#{Write-Host $Event.TimeWritten}
{
$EVT = "$($Event.TimeWritten)"

$EVTConvertedDate = "{00:MM}/{00:dd}/{0000:yyyy} {0:hh}:{0:mm}:{0:ss}" -f
($EVT)

write-host "$EVTConvertedDate"
}

You can try ToString():

$EVT.TimeWritten.ToString("MM/dd/yyyy")


or the date format operator

$EVTConvertedDate = "{0:MM/dd/yyyy}" -f $EVT.TimeWritten
