Get-Date Locale Issue

PowerShell Universal

Product: PowerShell Universal
Version: 5.6.5

Hi

Since upgrading powershell I’ve had a strange issue with a script that I am running this takes a date time as a string and converts it to a DateTIme object. When running it on the server I am getting

Cannot bind parameter 'Date'. Cannot convert value "30/09/25 13:34:56" to type "System.DateTime". Error: "String '30/09/25 13:34:56' was not recognized as a valid DateTime."

(I should mention that I am in the UK). I’ve manually ran the Get-Date from the Powershell terminal and get the same message.

If I run the same on my local laptop it runs fine. If I log onto the server and run through the powershell instance on the machine it also runs fine.

Where is the locate set in powershell universal? I am aware that I could use ParseExact but I am a little wary that if the locale is wrong then I might end up with dates written as US dates elsewhere.

Thanks

A code snippet of exactly what you are running to produce the issue would be needed here for anyone to offer help, a error message in isolation is going to be of limited use.

What code are you running to produce the issue, where are you running it when the issue occurs, whats the powershell version, etc
