AD Photos

AD Photos allows you to import photos into Active Directory for use with Outlook, Exchange, Sharepoint and AD Phonebook. With AD Photos you can import single photos or multiple photos into either the thumbnailPhoto attribute or the jpegPhoto attribute.

The import process is very straight forward, to import a single photo you simply enter a username and browse for the photo and then click save. It's just as easy to remove the photo should you need to, enter a username, click 'Remove Photo' and then click 'Save'.

To import multiple photos is just as easy, the program reads a CSV file that contains the username and the path to where the image is located.
