An “error occurred on line 498 while executing script” error message is logged in the Application log when you try to use the “Run Hardware Discovery” event rule in Microsoft Operations Manager 2005

SYMPTOMS

When you try to use the Run Hardware Discovery event rule to monitor a computer that has a single network adapter and multiple IP addresses, an error message that is similar to the following is logged in the Application log on the Microsoft Operations Manager (MOM) 2005 management server:

Event Type: Error
Event Source: Microsoft Operations Manager
Event Category: None
Event ID: 9100
User: <UserName>
Computer: <ComputerName>
Description:
An error occurred on line 498 while executing script 'Microsoft Windows Base OS Hardware Discovery Script'
Source: Microsoft VBScript runtime error
Description: Type mismatch: 'CStr'
For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://support.microsoft.com.

CAUSE

This problem occurs because the Win32_NetworkAdapter::NetworkAddresses property returns a string array to the Cstr command instead of the string value that the Cstr command requires.
