Help in Running Powershell command - Export Profile Photos from Office 365

You're missing braces after your if else statements:

Foreach ($objUser in (Import-Csv c:\ps\users.csv)) {
  if (Get-UserPhoto $objUser.UserPrincipalName -eq $null) {
    write-host $objUser.UserPrincipalName
  }
}
else {
  $user = Get-UserPhoto $objUser.UserPrincipalName
  $user.PictureData |Set-Content "C:\PS\Photo$($User.Identity).jpg" -Encoding byte
}

Select allOpen in new window

here is what I get;

    + CategoryInfo          : ObjectNotFound: (else:String) [], CommandNotFoundException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : CommandNotFoundException

Try this:

Foreach ($objUser in (Import-Csv c:\ps\users.csv)) {
  $photo = Get-UserPhoto $objUser.userprincipalname
  if ($photo -notlike '*') {
    write-host $objUser.UserPrincipalName
  }
}
else {
  $user = Get-UserPhoto $objUser.UserPrincipalName
  $user.PictureData |Set-Content "C:\PS\Photo$($User.Identity).jpg" -Encoding byte
}

Select allOpen in new window

Excellent! that worked, however, I now get this error: Any thoughts?


Cannot process argument transformation on parameter 'Identity'. Cannot convert value
"@{UserPrincipalName=JDoe@Domain.com}" to type "Microsoft.Exchange.Configuration.Tasks.MailboxIdParameter".
Error: "Cannot convert hashtable to an object of the following type:

Ok maybe this then:

Foreach ($objUser in (Import-Csv c:\ps\users.csv)) {
  $photo = Get-UserPhoto $($objUser.userprincipalname)
  if ($photo -notlike '*') {
    write-host $($objUser.UserPrincipalName)
  }
}
else {
  $user = Get-UserPhoto $($objUser.UserPrincipalName)
  $user.PictureData | Set-Content "C:\PS\Photo$($User.Identity).jpg" -Encoding byte
}

Select allOpen in new window

The command runs, however it doesn't output any data probably b/c of the error statement below:



else : The term 'else' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check
the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.

I think I need to do further research on the Get-UserPhoto from Office 365. Here is the error I now get. Some of my users have Profile photos stored in Office 365, however I need a way to bypass errors if there is no photo found. You guys have been helpful! I will do further research on this command.

Thank you!

Excellent PS guidelines for a novice like me.

Thank you!
