Adding/Updating Employee's Photo

Modified on Mon, Apr 15, 2024 at 2:25 PM

Use the AD Photo Edit app to upload an employee's photo to Active Directory.  This will sync with the intranet directory, as well as O365 for Outlook and Teams.  An employee can upload their own picture to O365, but that will not update the intranet directory.


Install from here: G:\IT\Apps\ADPhotoEditSetup


Launch app as your DAA account, as you are basically updating a user in AD using this tool.


Search for the user, then click Edit Image to upload the photo (must be in JPEG or PNG format).


Ensure that the photo size is under 100 KB, otherwise the photo will not upload.  Most photos are larger than that, so scale the picture down by lowering the number in the Height field, then tap the Tab button on your keyboard.  When "Maintain aspect ratio" is checked, it will automatically adjust the photo Width.


Keep adjusting as necessary to get the file size lower than 100 KB, then click OK.  You should receive a confirmation message to let you know it has been uploaded successfully.
