Microsoft 365 Copilot, Microsoft Teams

TL;DR
What did Cory Simmons (@corysimmons) use Microsoft 365 Copilot for?
An IT admin uses Microsoft 365 Copilot to boil long email threads down to decisions and open items, recap Teams meetings into action items with owners, and draft first-pass documents, but warns that its admin scripts still use retired commands. They say those three tasks save them time. Their rule of thumb: "Copilot is a fast first draft, not an admin."
What they did
They use Copilot for three admin tasks: summarizing long vendor or client email threads into what was decided and what is still open, recapping Teams meetings into action items with owners so nobody has to take notes, and drafting first-pass documents such as onboarding checklists, change notices and user-facing how-tos.
How it went
They say those three tasks save them time. Their rule of thumb: "Copilot is a fast first draft, not an admin."
Worth knowing
- When asked for Entra or Exchange admin scripts, Copilot still reaches for retired MSOnline and AzureAD commands. They use it for structure only and check every command against current Microsoft documentation before running anything.

Summarize this email thread in two short sections: what was decided (with who agreed) and what is still open (with who owns the next step and any deadline). Keep it under 150 words.
