This is done by simply opening a contact and clicking on the photo icon, then browsing for a photo to upload.The preferred method is for a server administrator to upload photos into Active Directory, and the Global Address List can then synchronize those changes.If users are working in cached mode, then there is an additional step to modify the Offline Address Book (OAB) to include the photo, because otherwise it only includes a pointer to the photo.Chances are, your organization is probably not implementing this feature. If I had to guess, it is because your server administrator is not a photographer.Complete a brief survey to get a complimentary 70-page whitepaper featuring the best methods and solutions for your virtual environment, as well as hypervisor-specific management advice from Tech Target experts.
However, consider a scenario where users are located across a congested wide area network connection; the results could have a negative impact on other line of business applications that share that bandwidth.**Reminder, this only works for accounts in Office 365, the process is different for Active Directory synchronized accounts.Since I’m working with shared mailboxes, the accounts are NOT in my active directory. In order to “hide” shared mailboxes from this list, you either need to use Power Shell or access from the GUI.However, if you modify the OAB, then should be prepared for the increased network traffic that will result.For example, the size of each thumbnail in Active Directory is limited to 10k.
