User directory in Sharepoint Foundation 2010
We have an intranet on Sharepoint 2010 and now my boss wants to add a user direcotory complete with pictures, title, phone etc. We have AD on a Server 2008 R2 server but up to now have only added the basics for info for each users. I did make a form for the Personnel Dept to use when a new person comes in or someone quits so I know to remove them from AD, disable and perhaps forward email temporarily, list groups for outgoing users so I can more easily set up the new person when they come on board, etc.
My question is what is the best way to complete this task. Try to pull this data from AD or flesh out my personnel form to include the missing data? And how do I work a photo into this?

You are right, Foundation does not do this natively, but the Starting/Exiting form I already have running contains almost all the data I need for the directory, just had to add pictures and a field to flag VIPs that need to show up in the directory first. After that I made a custom view sorting my users by department, etc. I need to work on the the page layout now but that is another issue.
