Greater than a set time in Powershell

Question

Hi,

I have a job that runs in Windows server task scheduler at 8am and 2pm.

I want my script to be able to say if the time is greater than 12pm then do something, else do something else.

Something similar to

$DateTimeNow = Get-Date 
if($DateTimeNow.TimeOfDay -gt 12:00pm){

} 
else {

}

What would be the best way to go about this?

TIA

Hi @ ChristopherJack-1763 ,

this is working here:

$DateTimeNow = (Get-Date).AddHours(-3) # the ".AddHours(-3)" is just for testing with different times, just remove this for your script  
$DateTimeNow  
if($DateTimeNow -gt "12:00 pm"){  
      Write-Output "later than 12:00 pm"   
}   
else {  
    Write-Output "before 12:00 pm"    
}
