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?
