If you have a need to add the date to a file name to help identify when it was created this script may have a use to to you.
It will search through a folder and rename a file by appending the date created to the original name of the file.
Get-ChildItem -Filter "*.csv" -Recurse | Rename-Item -NewName {$_.BaseName + $_.CreationTime.toString("ddMMMyy") + ".csv" }
Note:
The above script will only look for files in the path that you are currently in in powershell.
Example of the output
original filename was something.csv
new filename becomes something22Nov13.csv
