      I have the following Template that I am trying to use.
      However I keep getting the following error: Cannot assign a Vector value to a Scalar variable.

      ##AH:UseTextMode
      template SQL-ScalarQuery<$ConnectionString, $CommandText, out $Result>
      {
          set $Script = >>
              `$c = `$null;
              `$command = `$null;
              TRY {
                  `$c = New-Object System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection
                  `$c.ConnectionString = $ConnectionString
                  `$c.Open();
                  `$command = `$c.CreateCommand();
                  `$command.CommandText = `$CommandText;
                  `$Result = `$command.ExecuteScalar();
      
                  if (`$Result -ne `$null)
                  {
                      return `$Result.ToString();
                  }
                  else
                  {
                      return "";
                  }
              }
              FINALLY {
                  `$c.Dispose();
                  `$command.Dispose();
              }
          >>;
      
          set $Result = $PSEval($Script);
      }
      

      Sample of me trying to use this template:

      set $IsSysAdmin = "";
      call SQL-ScalarQuery(
          ConnectionString: $SQLServerConnectionString,
          CommandText: >>
              SELECT CAST(IS_SRVROLEMEMBER('sysadmin') as INT)
          >>,
          Result: $IsSysAdmin
      );
      
      if $IsSysAdmin == "0"
      {
          error;
          Log-Error The user running the Otter Agent must be sysadmin on the local sql server;
      }
      

      Screenshot of the error

        Thanks, we've identified this as a bug with template variable processing, and will have this fixed in the next version of Otter (coming in a day or two).
