Hello,
I have a scheduled task which will run two days a week which clones a vm. I would like to add dayof week to end of the vm name lets say for Monday and Thursday
$_this.CloneVM_Task($folder, "Bulut_Productive_MondayClone", $spec)
$_this.CloneVM_Task($folder, "Bulut_Productive_ThursdayClone", $spec)
To resolve this issue
$date = Get-Date
$dayofweek = $date.DayOfWeek
the type is [system.datetime] but i need to convert [system.datetime] format to [string] to add end of vmname
$dayofweek | out-string
not working any idea to fix this part.
Thanks,
