Instead of using Import-RecipientDataProperty cmdlet command to upload users' images to the Active Directory's thumbnailPhoto attribute, you can do it with a few clicks with CodeTwo Active Directory Photos without having any expertise in Exchange management. What is more, thanks to the program you can finally make bulk photo uploads and changes.

Why would I need it to add photos to Active Directory?

You may need to add photographs to Active Directory to show them in internal Outlook and Outlook on the web messages, display in Outlook's contacts and Global Address List (GAL), or to add them to internal or outbound email. Letting people see each other's faces while corresponding adds more human touch to the communication. Sometimes it seems to be the only way for some people to know who is who in their own company. What is more, adding users' images to external messages makes your mail look more professional and also lets your customers see who they are corresponding with.

Displaying photos in Outlook messages and contacts

If you want to show pictures in internal emails and Outlook contacts, just rely on what CodeTwo Active Directory Photos gives you. By uploading photos to Active Directory and assigning them to users, they will be automatically displayed in Outlook's internal emails.

Pictures uploaded to Active Directory will also be displayed in Outlook contact cards and in GAL contacts as well.

User photos in Outlook on the web

When you import photos of users to Active Directory with CodeTwo Active Directory Photos, your users will be able to see their coworkers’ faces in Outlook on the web. User photos appear e.g. when displaying emails in Inbox or creating a new message. Being able to see faces when looking up contacts makes it easier to ensure you are sending an email to the right person:

Thanks to the automatic image resizing option, you can be sure that the photos you upload will actually appear in OWA (will not exceed the maximum file size), which is not always the case when using PowerShell.

Active Directory photos in Skype for Business and Lync clients

Once photographs are uploaded to Active Directory with CodeTwo Active Directory Photos, users will be able to see those pictures in Skype for Business and Lync clients. Thanks to this, employees will finally get to see the face of every workmate in the chat window or while pointing the cursor over a given name in Lync's Contact List.

Note! In order to be able to view users' Active Directory photos in Lync, end-users have to choose to use the “Default corporate picture” in Lync Client's photo options.

If your company is using Microsoft Teams, you can use CodeTwo User Photos for Office 365 to easily upload those photos to the cloud.

Using Active Directory photos as Windows account picture

You can also set Windows account picture from Active Directory to further personalize each employee’s PC. With CodeTwo Active Directory Photos, you are just a few clicks away from adding, changing, or removing account pictures for all users in your company at the same time. Use this opportunity to set holiday-specific photos or pictures taken during important corporate events.

Adding photos to email signatures on Exchange

If you want to go further than this and also let external users (e.g. your customers) see your employees' photographs in emails, you can use Active Directory placeholders to add dynamic pictures to email signatures on Exchange. This allows you to create just one, uniform, centralized email signature template for the entire company, and the pictures will be added automatically to the signatures on the fly. To create company-wide email signatures with Active Directory photos, you can use CodeTwo Exchange Rules Pro. Just download the free trial version and find out how simple it can be and what beautiful email signatures you can create with it.

  @james stone thank you. I was equally surprised, and annoyed. On my version, it says 'show user photographs...'. The obvious thing for MS to do is allow users to right click on the photo to remove it.

  I just purchased Office 2016 and sent a routine email to a recruiter. To my great surprise, my skype photo was attached to the email. To remove the photo do this: (1) open Outlook, (2) click on file tab, (3) choose options, (4) select 'people', (5) and uncheck the box that says attach photo. Solution was given by a very helpful Microsoft tech support person. Hope this helps...was very frustrating!
