Vista - WMI Local Time format

Can this be shortened? I'm trying to get the local date/time on some remote
servers.

$dt = gwmi win32_localtime
[string]::format("{0:00}/{1:00}/{2} {3:00}:{4:00}:{5:00}", $dt.month,$dt.day,$dt.year,$dt.month,$dt.hour,$dt.minute,$dt.second)

$dt.hour,$dt.minute,$dt.second

It looks to me that $dt.month slipped in there by mistake....

New-Object DateTime $dt.year,$dt.month,$dt.day,$dt.hour,$dt.minute,

which sounds like it should provide what you are looking for. However I
can't make it work.

If someone from the PowerShell team reads this, they might tell us a bit
more about it?

Thanks Jacques. When piping $dt to get-member I saw it too.

Eventually, I got the time by querying the Win32_OperatingSystem class, It
has a LocalDateTime property, (Win32_LocalTime isnt available on W2K boxes).
which is what ConvertToDateTime() accepts as an argument.

$dt = (gwmi -query "select LocalDateTime from win32_operatingsystem").LocalDateTime
([wmi]'').ConvertToDateTime($dt).tostring("MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm:ss")
