For me, the best thing about TechEd is the chance to meet with people and to talk about Windows PowerShell. The nice thing about my Windows 7 phone is that I was able to answer all the really important stuff last week when I was at TechEd. There is still a ton of email in my Inbox crying for attention, and last week’s meetings are clamoring for my time to reschedule. In the week following the North American TechEd 2011 event in Atlanta, Georgia, my routine still eludes me. Microsoft Scripting Guy, Ed Wilson, is here. Can I use Windows PowerShell to query my Microsoft Outlook Inbox to retrieve with whom I am in most frequent contact? Information about frequency of contact would be nice to know, but right now I need something actionable to take to the boss. However, I need documentation to take back to my boss for proof. These time wasters are leeching resources from my team at a time when we are already shorthanded. I am afraid that I am wasting too much time corresponding with people who have no impact on my job performance at all. Nevertheless, I am beginning to suspect that is not the case. I mean, the people on my team with whom I am supposed to collaborate should be my most frequent contacts. I was then wondering how much time I spend emailing people who have no impact on my job.
You know, I believe my boss is completely correct (at least on this one particular point).
He said that if I send four or five emails to a person within a four- or five-minute period, I should probably have picked up the phone and made a telephone call-it would have taken less time, and been more efficient. Hey, Scripting Guy! I was talking to my boss the other day, and he made a rather interesting observation. Summary: Microsoft Scripting Guy, Ed Wilson, shows how to use Windows PowerShell to data mine your Microsoft Outlook Inbox.
