Tired of looking at all those misspelled cmdlet and parameter names in Word.  Use this PowerShell script to add all the Lync cmdlets and parameters into your own custom dictionary.  Very useful for double checking that your cmdlets and parameters are spelled correctly.

UPDATE: (5/8/2012) Modified to include parameters.

Prerequisites: You will need to have the Lync Core Components installed.  Don’t forget to apply the latest updates as well.
