While working with PowerShell scripts, quite frequently you may find a need to create a file to store information. The following lines can help you in creating a file name with TimeStamp.

 "MyLogFile-$(get-date -uformat '%Y-%m-%d-%H-%M-%S-%p').log" 

The output is something like...

MyLogFile-2013-03-13-14-07-40-PM.log

To create a new file at a specific $Path, use the following...

 $LogFile = new-item -type file -name "MyLogFile-$(get-date -uformat '%Y-%m-%d-%H-%M-%S-%p').log" -path "$Path" 

$LogFile fill contain the handle and you can easily do an Add-Item $LogFile "Something"

Hope this helps,
