Active Directory Picture
Exchange offers an Active Directory attribute (‘thumbnailPhoto’) that allows you to add a picture for each user. This picture is displayed in Lync Online and on SharePoint. Currently, Active Directory does not have a way built-in to add images to ‘thumbnailPhoto’ Attribute.
AD Photo Edit is a simple tool that connects to Active Directory and synchronizes with Online Services. Using AD Photo Edit allows you to upload, edit, update and export images. There are two options available:
- Free Edition
- Bulk Edition
Once your photo is uploaded to your “username” the ‘thumbnailPhoto’ attribute will be properly filled.
