How to import Photos into Active Directory

Hi -
IT Director asked me to import employees pictures into Active Directory so that we can use them in Outlook, SharePoint, Lync etc.
Do you know how to import pictures into Active Directory?

Thumbnailphoto Attribute in active directory is responsible for adding photos to Active directory.
By Default Replication of this attribute will be disabled to Global catalog server. To make use of this facility we will have to enable replication of this attribute to Global Catalog. ( To accomplish this you will have to edit the schema using Active directory
schema snap in).
Refer Below link which explains about enabling the replication of Thumbnailphoto attribute to Global catalog.
http://www.msexchange.org/articles_tutorials/exchange-server-2010/management-administration/configuring-using-display-picture-exchange-server-2010.html
Requirements
Minimum requirement for your exchange enviornment to use this - Exchange 2010.
Exchange 2007 Don't support uploading photos AFAIK.
Domain controller should be running with atleast windows server 2008 or later. And
schema has to be windows server 2008
Additionally for your information,
How to remove the uploaded photos?
Either You can edit the Thumbnailphoto attribute using ADSIedit and remove the entry which is assocaited with Thumbnailphoto attribute.
Or,
Try this.
The Import-RecipientDataProperty and Export-RecipientDataProperty cmdlets allow you to import and export the photo blob to and from
thumbnailPhoto attribute, but there's no Remove-RecipientDataProperty cmdlet to remove it. You can use the
RemovePicture switch of Set-Mailbox cmdlet to remove a user's photo. For example:
Set-Mailbox "Bharat Suneja" -RemovePicture
Check out the below link which explains in and out of uploading photos,

How to import your MS Active Directory users in an Oracle table

Hello,
I first tried to get a Heterogenous Connection to my MS Active Directory to get information on my Active Directory users.
This doesn't work so I used an alternative solution:
How to import your MS Active Directory users in an Oracle table
- a Visual Basic script for export from Active Directory
- a table in my database
- a SQL*Loader Control-file
- a command-file to start the SQL*Loader
Now I can schedule the vsb-script and the command-file to get my information in an Oracle table. This works fine for me.
Just to share my scripts:
I made a Visual Basic script to make an export from my Active Directory to a CSV-file.

I have a table with about 50,000 records in my Oracle database and there is a date column which shows the date that each record get inserted to the table, for example 04-Aug-13.
Is there any way that I can find out what time each record has been inserted?
For example: 04-Aug-13 4:20:00 PM. (For my existing records not future ones)
First you need to clarify what you mean by 'the date that each record get inserted'. A row is not permanent and visible to other sessions until it has been COMMITTED and that commit may happen seconds, minutes, hours or even days AFTER a user actually creates the row and puts a date in your 'date column'.
Second - your date column, and ALL date columns, includes a time component. So just query your date column for the time.
The only way that time value will be incorrect is if you did something silly like TRUNC(myDate) when you inserted the value. That would use a time component of 00:00:00 and destroy the actual time.

How to import photos into new Photos beta app

I am trying to figure out how to import photos from an auxiliary (i.e., not my main) iPhoto library into the new beta Photos app. Has anyone been able to do this? Thanks.

You can't import a one library into another library with either Photos or iPhoto. You could with iPhoto if the library to be imported was created by iPhoto 6 or earlier and still had a normal folder for the library. Since iPhoto 7 libraries became packages and can't be imported into another library.

How to import photos into LR 2.6 from Elements 8

When I used Photoshop elements 6 I was able to import into LR 2.6 from elements catalog. How can I do this with Elements 8. The option doesn't come up in files menu.

When I used Photoshop elements 6 I was able to import into LR 2.6 from elements catalog.
I think you mean you were able to *convert* a PSE6 catalog to a Lightroom catalog. This isn't possible with Lightroom 2.6 and PSE8 catalogs, but you can *import* your photos from PSE8 into Lightroom, although you will lose some PSE catalog information. First, use psedbtool to write the metadata from the PSE8 catalog to the photo files themselves; then import the photos into Lightroom.

How to Import file into sap directory.

Hi all,
I need to import a .XML file into SAP-BW directory from my local pc.
By tcod AL11 I can only display all the directories, but I cannot import/upload this file.
How I Can create my own directory e.g /usr/sap/tmp123
Help me please.
thanks.
Kaustubh.

Hi Kaustubh,
Use the FM ARCHIVFILE_CLIENT_TO_SERVER.
Give Filename + path for both the source and destination and your file will get transferred to the specified directory in AL11.
But I am not sure about creating your own directory in AL11.
Reward if helpful.

How to import photos into Folders or Albums from backuped CD-R

I need you advice.
I made folders of photos in CD-R when I backuped. I would like to import them into each folders and album I made in i photo newly from the folders on CD-R. Even though I select "Add library" under "File" and drag& drop and copy from Finder window/ CD-R window, all are just imported into Library.
Many thanks,
Mac

Hi Mac Ito,
Here is something I typed out a couple of days ago for a response to another person. It might help you also.
Importing Images from the hard drive, CD, or DVD
To import a folder with subfolders of images maintaining the same organizational structure (or close to it):
Drag the folder into iPhotos viewing area.
A film roll will be created with each sub folders name. To view the rolls in the Library you need to first go to the menu bar and choose View>by film rolls.
To make each roll into an Album, highlight the tile of the roll
Go to File>new album from selection.
You will now have an Album in the source column with the images from that roll. Do this for each roll if you want them to be an Album. This is your choice.
Next, go to the menu bar and hit File>new folder
Name this new folder with the year or whatever the name was of the Parent folder containing the subfolders that you had dragged into iPhotos viewing area.
Next drag all the Albums into the respective new Parent folder you just made.
Albums- collection of images from one roll or many rolls. The Albums will be listed in your source column when you make them. The albums only contain placeholders for the images that are still in the library. They are not duplicates.
Rolls- rolls are created when you import folder of images. It will be given the name of the folder you are importing.
Rolls are also created from each import from your camera. You are given the option to name the roll at import.
Folder-a folder you create manually using the File>new folder command
Folders can hold Albums, slideshows, books, another folder, etc.
Hope this helps!

How to import photos into LR4 that LR states have already been imported.

LR4 in import mode shows photo files that it has labeled with a leading "_" in a muted format and states they have already been imported and will not allow importing. I have been unable to locate them by file name or date in LR or using file searches. How can I find and/or import them? Do I have to rename all the files by deleting the leading _ in the file name?
Thanks

Duplicate file detection is based on more than just file name. Duplicate file names are allowed in your catalog. You can try turning off the "Don't Import Suspected Duplicates" (under the File Handling roll-out on the right panel of the Import dialog window) and see what that does for you. As to finding the files that these are (potentially) duplicates of, it's hard to say. Name and date are some of the easier ways of doing it. What folder it got imported into may be another. If you've been using keywords and/or Collections, this may help as well.

How to import photos into iphoto from backup drive to new computer

2008 "Vintage" iMac recently died. Data was saved on external hard drive. Purchased new iMac, OS 10.9.4, how to get old iphoto library from hard drive to new computer. Iphoto 9.5.1. Thanks

Data was saved on external hard drive. Purchased new iMac, OS 10.9.4, how to get old iphoto library from hard drive to new computer.
Teresa, in what way way the data saved to an external hard drive? Do you have a copy of your iPhoto library on that drive? Or is it a clone of your old system drive ? A Time Machine backup?
And which iPhoto version did you have on your old Mac?
If your external drive holds a copy of your iPhoto library, you can simply connect this drive your new mac and drag the library over. It will depend in the version of your old iPhoto, how you can open the the old library. If it is an iPhoto '09 or '11 library, you can aunch iPhoto with the options key held down and select the library as your new iPhoto library. If the iPhoto version is older, you will have to ru the iPhoto Library Upgrader first.

Importing photos into PhotoShop Elements 9

Hi. Im very new to photoshop software. Any software for that matter
I have about 15000 photos in windows gallery that i initially imported into PSE. But since doing that, as PSE was soooo slow, i went back to windows gallery and cleaned up and organised my photos there, putting them in the correct sub folders, thinking they would automatically update in PSE. This doesnt seem to be the case. Can anyone assist me in how to import photos into PSE, and once they are imported, can i delete from windows gallery ? Oh and any otehr tips for a newbie is appreciated
Thanks heaps!!

Hi
Im sorry, but i dont completely understand your answer, although it was a little helpful.
The first sentence you advised to make sub folders in windows program.
Im pretty sure thats what ive done. But i thought it would automatically update to PSE. You mentioned it would not. Thankyou for that part.
I have cleared/re organised my windows picture folders and organised them into sub folders but when i went into PSE the old pic files and folders were showing there - except they advised no picture or data is available.
So this confuses me as there is too much files in PSE now and i cant seem to get rid of them.
The other concern is the new photos i have loaded into windows pictures program, how do i get them into PSE. This is really hard to explain in email., so i do apologise if i dont make sense or repeat myself.
But my main concern is if PSE doesnt update why does it keep old pic folders in the program if nothing is available.
i tried to uninstall and then reinstall and start teh program all over again with my newly organised windows folders but the old stuff remianed even though i uninstalled the program ????
Thanks

HT204414 how to merge my iPhoto Library into my Photos System Library or how to import photos from iPhoto to Photos?

Can anyone tell me how to merge my iPhoto Library into my Photos System Library or how to import photos from iPhoto to Photos?

How many did you trash at one go? iPhoto will baulk and possibly corrupt if you try trash too many at one go. Expereinced users recommend getting rid of them in batches of about 100 or so.
What's your plan for the remaining images in the iPhoto Library (the 2k photos and 4 videos)?

How to import photo from album in Iphone into computer?

How to import photo from album in Iphone into computer?

You can't. You can import from the Camera Roll only.
Photos transferred from your computer to your iPhone via the iTunes sync/transfer process should remain on your computer. Photos transferred from your computer are optimized for viewing on your iPhone via the iTunes sync/transfer process - the original resolution of these photos is reduced, which is why transferring these photos in the opposite direction is not supported. These photos should remain on your computer and be included with your computer's backup.
There are some 3rd party paid utilities that provide for transferring these photos in the opposite direction but such utilities are not supported by Apple and the original resolution of these photos will be lost.
Here is one such utility.
