AD Photos allows you to import photos into Active Directory for use with Outlook, Exchange, Office 365, Sharepoint and AD Phonebook. With AD Photos you can import single photos or multiple photos into either the thumbnailPhoto attribute or the jpegPhoto attribute.
Many companies already have photos of users for ID cards etc, it makes a lot of sense to store these photos in Active Directory.
Allow your users to put a face to a name, below you can see Outlook displaying the photo read from the thumbnailPhoto attribute. You’ll find photos are used throughout Outlook and Office 365, you’ll find them shown in the Global Address List, Meeting Requests, Contacts etc.

Required Software for Exchange Online Support
Version 4 of AD Photos can Import and Export to Exchange Online (Office 365), the software below is required to use this feature.
Install the 64-bit version of the Microsoft Online Services Sign-in Assistant: Microsoft Online Services Sign-in Assistant for IT Professionals RTW.
Install the 64-bit version of the Windows Azure Active Directory Module for Windows PowerShell: Windows Azure Active Directory Module for Windows PowerShell (64-bit version).
Importing users into Active Directory (CSV, Excel)
The import file can be formatted using the CSV (comma separated value) format or Excel XLS and XLSX.
The column headers in your file (CSV,XLS,XLSX) should contain the name of the Active Directory Attribute you want to add the data to. A list of column headers/attributes can be found below. The columns can be in any order and the column headers are not case sensitive but obviously must be spelt correctly for the program to recognize them, if it comes across a column it doesn’t recognize it will ignore that column.
In the example shown below I’m using Excel to construct the file and using wildcards to speed up the creation of the file. The first row (1) contains the column headers, these are the attribute names such as givenName (first name). You don’t need to use all the attributes names just those you need, the minimum required to create a new users are shown below. This example file would create 5 new users.

Has been a real time saver!
“Although a user of AD Bulk Users (and the other tools) for some time now, I have only just harnessed the power of the scheduler part of the system. Previously I thought the software was superb, but this feature takes it to another level, saving us even more time than before..”
