Must be a severe case of Brexitis mayensis,

C:\Users\Evertjan>echo.|time
The current time is: 10:17:52.76
Enter the new time:

C:\Users\Evertjan>echo.|date
The current date is: 21-03-2017
Enter the new date: (dd-mm-yy)

C:\Users\Evertjan>echo WScript.StdErr.WriteLine(new Date()) >kk.js

C:\Users\Evertjan>type kk.js
WScript.StdErr.WriteLine(new Date())

C:\Users\Evertjan>cscript //nologo kk.js
