I am using a slightly modified Windows Powershell component monitor to find files that should be newer then some number of minutes since current time. The files are on a cif share so I have the template deployed to one of my pollers and the path to the file is a unc. On the poller the script returns the expected output when run from the PS command line of the poller but, when I run it via "Edit Script" to produce the outputs or I run it as a test of the component, it does not return the expected result. I have it set to run on localhost which is the poller where I've deployed it. I expect to find 1 file newer then 60 minutes. But it says 0 files newer then 60 minutes. Why? Where is it looking
