PowerShell Script for a real round trib email check

Question

Hi all,

I'm trying to create a power shell monitor to achive a round trip mail to gmail from our internal exchange server and back, i've written a power shell script that does exactly what i need when run manually, but when i try to implement it within APM it is just stuck on the bolded line (i'll publish the full script once this is resolved):

$ol = New-Object -comObject Outlook.Application 
$mail = $ol.CreateItem(0) 
$Mail.Recipients.Add("test@gmail.com") 
$Mail.Subject = "Solarwinds Gmail Round Trip Check"

Write-Host 'Statistic: '  $Mail.Subject
exit(0)

does anyone have an idea why this happens?

There are some nuances related to running 64bit PowerShell through a 32bit process like the Job Engine. We hope to address these issues in the next release of APM.

The script worked fine from within Pshell environment, got around it by running a perl script that calls for the original  power shell script. Not an elegant solution but it works, I think that APM's Pshell enterpreter lacks some functionality.

Have you tried it as this:

$mail.to.add("test@gmail.com")
