Running Refresh-SmSnapLock -All from SC commandlet after logging in using Open-SmConnection with a SnapCenterAdmin roled account throws the below unhandled exception on the same date/time multiple times (the date/time values are digits where day "dd" is bigger than 12):
UpdateSnaplockSettings failed with error: String 'dd.MM.YYYY HH:mm:ss' was not recognized as a valid DateTime.
System.FormatException: String 'dd.MM.YYYY HH:mm:ss' was not recognized as a valid DateTime.
