How important are the fractions of a second in your conversion? &nbsp;The fractional seconds are being ignored by the posted solution as well as this alternative solution.<br />

<pre><code id="code-20-41737920-1">[System.Management.ManagementDateTimeConverter]::ToDateTime('20160801164123.157000+000').ToString('yyyyMMdd HH:mm:ss')</code></pre>
<br />
<b>Note: </b>I find some of these methods rather verbose. &nbsp;I prefer something like this:<br />

<pre><code id="code-20-41737920-2">$DTC=[System.Management.ManagementDateTimeConverter]
$DTC::todatetime('20160801164123.957000+000').ToString('yyyyMMdd HH:mm:ss')</code></pre>
