windows certificate store scan

I have written a DS that uses PowerShell to discover any SSL Certificate within the Windows certificate stores and generates alerts for those expiring soon and for those that have already expired.  The alert messages are still generic as I am fighting a weird timeout issue with the data collection code against remote devices.  The AD code works fine and the data collection code is virtually identical, simpler in fact as we have the serial number on hand.  If I run it from the collector itself in a PS console, it also works fine.  Just seems to go to lunch when run from within LM itself.  If anyone wants to take a look and see if they can find the problem, that would be much appreciated -- my intent is to polish it up and release it publicly.  It is in code review, not clear how long that will take with the new LMExchange feature.

    Thanks!  And, we shall see :).  I stepped away for now on the whole data collection timeout thing to clear my head.  Feels like it is LM causing it, but can't see how.  I based the general structure on the "_Windows patches needed" DS Mike Suding wrote.  Also tried the PSSession avenue other DSes use, but made no difference.  Same exact code run from the collector PS shell returns data quickly.  Hopefully we can figure it out -- this information is otherwise hard to get from external tests.
