Lync PresenceIndicators while in UI Suppressed Mode in Outlook

The title is not possible.  You cannot run Lync in UISuppressedMode and still get the presence indicators in Outlook.  The versions I tried this with were Lync 2010 and Outlook 2010.  The reason is when you enable UISuppressedMode Microsoft disables the Lync.Model.Control which Outlook uses to enable the PresenceIndicators.

Since we use Outlook and Lync in Citrix and part of the requirement of us publishing Outlook was to have these presence indicators available (along with the call and other functions) UISuppressedMode was not an option.  In addition, we required the application to try and act as a single app, so when Outlook was closed, Lync would NOT hold the session.  The users requested Lync be hidden because two applications launching at the same time is confusing; so I wrote a script to try and simulate this functionality as much as possible.  This was the result:

; Script Function:
;   Opens Lync in a hidden window, starts Outlook then polls the user session
;  to see if the outlook.exe process is still running.  If it is not it will
;  log off the session.
