The result of this exercise is to understand that no matter which tool is used, the final page will be Exchange where the user can upload a photo. In the new wave of Unified Communications products (Exchange Server 2013, Lync Server 2013/Skype for Business Server), the administrator can take advantage of high-resolution photos because the photos can be stored in Exchange Server 2013 mailboxes (we will see that the photo is also resized and stored in Active Directory as part of the process).Īs you may have concluded, since the photos are stored in Exchange Server 2013, this feature requires that the end-user mailbox be in an Exchange Server 2013 otherwise the information stored in Active Directory is used.īefore going in detail about the configuration changes on the server side, our first stop is to understand and visualize how the end-user can change their own picture using any of the existent interfaces (Outlook Web App, Outlook 2013 and/or Skype for Business Client). However, the limitation was the 100kb for the thumbnailPhoto attribute, which would give us a small picture (96 pixels by 96 pixels) and the quality as you can imagine not that good. In the previous versions of either Exchange/Skype for Business (especially during the OCS/Lync era) the solution could be summarized in adding the photo to the Active Directory attribute thumbnailPhoto through a third-party tool or PowerShell scripts. Looking at how the communication flows nowadays among end-users, we will realize that we see pictures all the time. You see them when you are checking your e-mail in Outlook, receiving a new message, receiving an instant messaging and so forth. The user photo in collaboration tools such as Skype for Business and Exchange Server world (Outlook Web App/Outlook) enhances the end-user experience.
