Powershell Print FolderCreation Date Not working

Question

[System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName('Microsoft.SqlServer.SMO') | out-null
$dir = "D:\Script_Out"
$creation_time = $dir | Select CreationTime
"$creation_time" | Out-File 'D:\creationtime.txt'
I tried executing the above.... The file has been created but the file has @{CreationTime=} .... Could anyone explain what's wrong with the code.....

Answer 1

It looks like the function (Select
CreationTime) you are trying is not working at all, I tried to display the value using write-host but it did not succedeed.
Try as follows.
[System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName('Microsoft.SqlServer.SMO') | out-null
$dir = "C:\Script_Out"
$creation_time = Get-Item C:\Script_Out | Foreach {$_.LastWriteTime}
write-host "the new value is $creation_time"
"$creation_time" | Add-Content 'c:\task\creationtime.txt'
You need to replace C: with D:
