Win32_LocalTime class
The Win32_LocalTime WMI class describes a point in time returned as Win32_LocalTime objects that result from a query. These are returned as the value for the TargetInstance property in the __InstanceModificationEvent system class. The Hour property is returned as the local time on a 24-hour clock.
Note
The smallest time segment supported is 1 second.
The following syntax is simplified from Managed Object Format (MOF) code and includes all of the inherited properties. Properties are listed in alphabetic order, not MOF order.

Properties
The Win32_LocalTime class has these properties.
-
Day
-
-
Data type: uint32

Remarks
When you subscribe to events by using this class, you can create sophisticated schedules that can be implemented through events returned from WMI. For example, you can subscribe to an event for a specific day of a week in a specific quarter of a specific year.

Examples
The following PowerShell example retrieves the local time for a computer.
Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_LocalTime -ComputerName . | Select-Object -Property [a-z]*
The following query example generates an event every Friday morning at 8:00:00 (local time) during the year 2001. If the line "AND TargetInstance.Second=0" is removed, then the query generates 60 notifications between 8:00:00 and 8:01:00, every Friday morning in 2001.
SELECT * FROM __InstanceModificationEvent
WHERE
TargetInstance ISA "Win32_LocalTime"
AND TargetInstance.Year = 2001
AND TargetInstance.DayOfWeek=6
AND TargetInstance.Hour=8
AND TargetInstance.Minute=0
AND TargetInstance.Second=0
The following query example shows you how to generate events every second forever.
SELECT * FROM __InstanceModificationEvent
WHERE
TargetInstance ISA "Win32_LocalTime"
