Hi everybody, i have an environment with Lync Server 2010 Enterprise Edition running on Windows Server 2008 R2. I have imported 20,000 thousand photos into AD using thumbnailphoto attribute. But many lync clients (15,000) can´t see the photos in address book. I have done the next steps:
1) I created a new policy with New-CsClientPolicy and the parameter ForceADPictures. I have set the DisplayPhoto policy to use the AD picture and finally apply the policy to lync users. This policy has been applied to all lync users.
2) Every hour, the User Replicator, periodically retrieves up-to-date users account information from Active Directory Domain Services and then synchronizes to the new information with the current user data stored by Lync Server, i saw that the attribute
DisplayADPhoto for many users is false (About 15,000 thousands users).
3) I ran Update-CsUserDatabase and the Update-CsAddressBook,however it didn´t resolve the issue.
For a lync user i checked if the displayADPhoto is true or false in the sql database.And found that even when they had the policy ForceAdPhoto applied in lync the database showed the attribute DisplayAdPhoto in False, I suppose that Lync uses the attribute DisplayADPhoto to generate files with extension .PHOTO and so Lync clients get this file to show photo.
As well as this, it is important to mention that the photos were uploaded in a jpg format and no higher than 10 KB.
So the quiestion is: How about if i modify theDisplayAdPhoto attribute with the value=True in the sql database so that it generates all the lync users .photo files and the lync users can download the .photo files?
Thanks in advance
