This command is using PowerShell scripting language to retrieve the current date and time using the Get-Date cmdlet.

(Get-Date) retrieves the current date and time.

.ToUniversalTime() is a method that converts the retrieved date and time from the local time zone to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). UTC is a standardized time that is consistent across different locations and time zones, making it useful for global communication and calculations. It accounts for any time differences based on the time zone settings of the computer.

So, when this command is executed, it will retrieve the current local date and time, and then convert it to the equivalent UTC date and time.
