Lync profile Pic
Hi Peeps.
we have Lync 2013. Users want to put their profile picture up cause we all look so good. maybe no me... anyways. issue is that the option is greyed out. I was told there is a powershell command to allow users to change their own picture.
anyone know what this command is?

The "Edit or Remove Picture" button in Lync 2013 client works if you have Exchange 2013 in your environment, else it is grayed out. Since you have Exchange 2010 in your environment, picture will be retrieved from Active Directory.
You could use the Powershell cmdlet Import-RecipientDataProper ty to upload pictures. This has to be done from Exchange Server Command Shell. I feel there is not option to upload photos from Lync 2013 Client if you have Exchange 2010 in your environment.

You could use 3rd party tools to manages photos in AD. Following are some of them.

During a Lync 2013 training. The question was raised about having the users enabled to upload their own photo from their machine on their lync client. the instructor said this was achieved by using a powershell command on the Lync server. I regret not getting it down then but need it.
you are saying this can not be achieved? I will go through your links thanks SreRaj

Users can upload photo from Lync 2013 client if you have Exchange 2013 in your organization. Since you having Exchange 2010 in your organization, I feel it will not work for your users.

Not what I was after but offered other options

servers all 2008 R2

I was told there was a powershell command that enabled the photo option so that users can upload their own pic. I wish I asked then what that script was.
