function ConvertTo-ALHDateTime {

    <#
    .SYNOPSIS
    Converts miliseconds since 1970 or 1601 or ticks since 1601 to a DateTime value.
 
    .DESCRIPTION
    Converts miliseconds since 1970 or 1601 or ticks since 1601 to a DateTime value (by defaults in UTC time).
    The function returns $null
 
    .PARAMETER DateTimeValue
    Miliseconds since 01.01.1700 00:00:00 or miliseconds since 01.01.1601 00:00:00 or ADDateTime value.
 
    .PARAMETER AsLocalTime
    If specified, the resulting DateTime value will be interpreted in local time zone, instead of UTC.
 
    .EXAMPLE
    ConvertTo-ALHDateTime -DateTimeValue 13270022798437
 
    DateTimeBase1970 DateTimeBase1601 DateTimeBaseAD
