Formatting date month in PowerShell

I need to format the previous date to yyyy-mm-dd.

For example, today is May 25,2016. Therefore I need the output '2016-05-24'.

$a = (Get-Date).AddDays(-1).ToString('yyyy-mm-dd')
Write-Output $a

When I run the code I get 2016-44-24 which is incorrect.

How can I do it?

mm specifies The minute, from 00 through 59 Source.

You have to use uppercase for month instead: 

(Get-Date).AddDays(-1).ToString('yyyy-MM-dd')
