Lync 2010 Topology builder unable to download Topology

Sound familiar?

"The term 'Get-CsTopology' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again."

It doesn't really say very clearly in the error that it can't find and thus load the Lync module, but it is what it's trying to tell you.

Copy the Lync module from:

C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Lync Server 2010\Modules\Lync

To:

C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\Modules\Lync

And start the Topology builder again. Now you can download the topology as you normally would.
