NEW: Retrieve Available Lync Contacts
We’ve released another article in our series about using the Microsoft Lync 2010 SDK with Windows PowerShell. (The article was in a cage in the deepest cellars of Microsoft, but we decided it was safe to release it now. If it threatens or bites anyone let us know and we’ll put it back.) This time we talk about retrieving contact availability information.
Retrieve Available Contacts includes several scripts: You’ll learn how to retrieve all contacts in a group who are currently available; how to begin an instant messaging session with the first available contact; how to begin an IM session with a randomly chosen available contact; and there’s even a little information explaining how to find contacts based on various availability statuses.
If you’ve missed the other articles in our series on using the Lync 2010 SDK with PowerShell, here they are (we’ve had no reports of serious injury from these articles – yet):
