SAM monitor return from an application

We used to monitor an application through vbscript in ipMonitor. The vbscript basically carry out following tasks:

• Run a command with series of parameters e.g. "myappl.exe -r -s ServerName Port 4040 AppComponentName > myapp.log"
• Check the text in the log file, if it is numeric, then return 0, otherwise return 2.

Here is the code:

  Const CONNECTION_OK = 0, CONNNECTION_FAILED = 2, NOT_CONFIGURED = -2, ForReading = 1, ForWriting = 2, ForAppend = 8

  Dim fso, LogFile, LogLine, Diff, f1

On error resume next

  IP = "192.168.5.10"

  Port = "4040"

  Factory = "Network V3"

  LogPath = IP+"_myApp.log"

  cmdfile = IP+"_myhApp.cmd"

myAppcmd = "C:\\OrionScripts\\myApp\\myApp.exe -s -r "& IP &":"& port &" execute " & chr(34) & Factory & chr(34) & " FACTORY Internal.Info.GetNumOpenTransactions > " & LogPath

        Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

        Set LogFile = fso.OpenTextFile(cmdfile, ForWriting, True)

        Set fso = nothing

        LogFile.WriteLine myAppcmd

        LogFile.Close

        Set Logfile=nothing

  Set objShl=CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

  objShl.Run cmdfile,1,true

  Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

  Set LogFile = fso.OpenTextFile(LogPath, ForReading)

  LogLine = LogFile.ReadLine()

  LogFile.Close

  Set Logfile=nothing

  Set fso = nothing

  MyCheck = IsNumeric(trim(logline))

If MyCheck = true Then

  WScript.Echo( "CONNECTION_OK" )

    WScript.Quit( CONNECTION_OK )

  Else

    WScript.Echo( "CONNNECTION_FAILED" )

    WScript.Quit( CONNNECTION_FAILED )

End If

Recently we purchased Orion SAM. I tried to use the default Script Monitor to do the same. But when testing the script output in Script Monitor configuration, I keep getting error "Some or all identity references could not be translated".  I have spent sometime testing the script locally on the Orion server itself. It works with Run As Admin, otherwise give me permission denied error on line 20 "Set LogFile = fso.OpenTextFile(cmdfile, ForWriting, True)".

I just wondering, instead of spending more time on figuring out how to re-use the vbscript, is there a better/more efficient way in SAM to monitor an output from a particular application? Process Monitor seems more towards performance. Is Powershell the way to go?
