SAM: Windows Powershell Monitor component is hanging when I hit "Get Script Output", but is fine when I run the script in a Powershell window. Thoughts?

Hello, Below is a script I wrote to check the a server is using the correct NTP server.  I checked the output in a regular Powershell session (using Version 2) and I can't spot any problems with the output.  Additionally I have the 'Run the script under specified account` checked and have tested this with the specified user.

$expectedNtpServer = $args.Get(0).ToLower().Trim()$serverToCheck = $args.Get(1)$currentNtpServer = (w32tm /query /source /computer:$serverToCheck).ToLower().Trim()if($currentNtpServer -match  '\b\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\b') {   $currentNtpServer = [System.Net.Dns]::gethostentry($ip).HostName.ToLower().Trim()}if($currentNtpServer -ne $expectedNtpServer) {       Write-Host "Message.Status: $serverToCheck is using a different NTP Server than expected. Actual $currentNtpServer  Expected $expectedNtpServer"    Write-Host "Statistic.Status: 0"    exit 3}Write-Host "Message.Status: $serverToCheck is using the expected NTP Server: $expectedNtpServer"Write-Host "Statistic.Status: 0"exit 0

Here is the output I get when I run it in Powershell:

PS> .\NTPSourceChecker.ps1 DC1.domain.com DC2.domain.com Message.Status: DC2 is using a different NTP Server than expected. Actual: DC3.domain.com  Expected: DC1.domain.com Statistic.Status: 0

Any thoughts on why I can't get the ouptut to work in the application monitor template?

UPDATE:  So it turns out that nothing in the above script was causing the "Get script output" to hang.  This was happening no matter what I put in the script body.  It started working after a reboot of the Orion server.
