Set User Profile Picture with CMD

Can we set the an user profile picture from a shared folder (\\SERVER\UserPictures\%USERNAME%.jpg) via CMD? How to do that?
Thanks in advance.

Hi
I have been struggling with the same problem for a couple of days now. I thought I had it figured out by creating an "accountpicture-ms" file on my own computer and coping it to
%appdata%\Microsoft\Windows\AccountPictures and set the value of the file in: "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\AccountPicture\SourceId" but as it is already stated above that does not do it.
After doing some registry monitoring when clicking on the "accountpicture-ms" file, that does set the profile picture correct, I noticed some activity in a hidden folder named:
C:\Users\Public\AccountPictures\S-1-5-21-933334596-4129812972-2891473731-1001
(The last part of this dir should be changed with the unique GUID you got for your user)
In that folder I found 5 versions of my profile pictures in jpg format, that is created when setting the profile pictures.
The Operation does also set 5 Registry Keys here:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\AccountPicture\Users\5-21-933334596-4129812972-2891473731-1001\
The keys are:
Image40
Image96
Image200
Image240
Image448
The keys are pointing to the 5 jpg files mentioned above. I have not yet tested if this does the trick, but I will post my script here, if I get it to work..!

User Profile Pictures not deleting / replacing

Hello,
I have been struggling with this issue for a couple of weeks and think I may need some help. I have a user profile sync application which works fine, it syncs several attributes from AD into SharePoint, it also exports user profile pictures back to
AD for Exchange and Lync to use, this all works fine.
I was asked to replace a picture for a user, which I did using the 'Manage User Profiles' page in Central Admin. I didn't realise there was an issue until I was asked again a week later, it seems the update had not worked. I tried again, and
lo and behold the picture managed to revert back to the old one again.
After a lot of messing around deleting the picture, syncing, adding the new picture, syncing again etc I could not get the new picture to stay, the old one kept coming back. I do not think the issue is related to the sync, but more with SharePoint itself,
here is a symptom I believe is related:-
I delete a user's picture from 'Manage User Profiles', the picture is gone and the user's mysite page shows the placeholder pic.
Looking in the mysites site collection in User%20Photos/Forms/AllItems.aspx the 3 pictures for the user have disappeared. However if I browse to the url of the picture - User%20Photos/Profile%20Pictures/*username*_SThumb.jpg (or mthumb or lthumb) the
picture appears in my browser.
Next if I add a new picture for the same user through central admin, I then see the new picture in their mysite, I can also see 3 thumbnails of the user's photo under the mysites site collection in User%20Photos/Forms/AllItems.aspx
So far so good, however, if I browse to the url of the picture (including the filename as above) then I am shown the old picture :S
So it appears that the pictures in User%20Photos/Profile%20Pictures/_w and User%20Photos/Profile%20Pictures/_t are updating with the new picture, but the pictures in User%20Photos/Profile%20Pictures/ do not get updated, or even deleted properly when they
are removed.
Hope somebody can shed some light on this as it's really annoying me now! Thanks :)

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that the replacing picture not work properly in MySite.
I tried to reproduce the issue in my environment(SharePoint server 2013+SP1), it works without any issue.
Did the issue occur for all the users?
To narrow down whether the issue is related to the User Profile service, you can use other accounts to check whether it works.
If that is the case, you can recreate the user profile service application to check whether it works.
If your environment does not install any updates, you can install SP1 or latest update to check whether it works.
You can also check the event log and ULS log to see if anything unexpected occurred.
To check event log, click the Start button and type “Event Viewer” in the Search box.
For SharePoint 2013, by default, ULS log is at
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\LOGS

Jason

The question says it all:
What Are The Minimum Permissions In Order An User To Be Able To Access User Profile Data With JavaScript And REST API.?

Replace friends profile pictures with those in my contacts

Hi, anybody here know how to replace friend's bbm profile pictures with those in contact phone book like those before BB10?
On my 9700 & 9780, I can link a BBM contact with my phonebook contact, and I'd an option to use phonebook contact picture foe the BBM contact.
Anyone got it working or it's just another function discarded by BB10?

Do you see profile pictures for any of your contacts at all? Or is it that you only see it for selected ones?
All those that don't show a profile picture to you (but you've confirmed with them that they have one) can you check that right-clicking on their contact the menu doesn't show a "Resend contact request" option?

How to retrive profile picture with DotNetOpenAuth

Hi,
I'm using VS 2013 and DotNetOpenAuth to authenticate users with facebook and I would like to retrive the profile picture of the user, so I can show the picture of the logged in user in my site.
I know that I can send extra data to facebook with the method "AddFacebook" and I also have the option to replace the method "requestauthentication" by the "createrequest" to have more control of this part, but I couldn't find
a way to request the profile picture - and I'm not sure if the login request is the best moment for this request.
Thank you !

User Profile Disks with Windows Server 2012 and Windows 8 VDI

Hello experts!
We are building a new server setup for the office and are unable to figure out why UPD will not work. We have VDI setup and a user for instance
connecting through the RDWeb workplace will dynamically get one of the available Windows 8 Machines delivered through Hyper-V and can successfully login on this machine via Active Directory. So far so good...
However, when we activate the User Profile Disks "UPD" feature the login takes forever and the VHDX will not mount on c:\users\...
as expected within the virtual Windows 8 machine.
The UPD config is quite simple, with just the path "\\vmhost\upd\" set. This share has (now during test) full access for everyone,
both on share level and on security level, but still the VHDX will not mount.
The UVHD-template.vhdx file gets created just fine when UPD is activated, and during login through RDWeb a TEMP-UVHD-S-1-5-21-1477358240-4159876597-995667825-500.vhdx
gets created, but there it stops... The login process takes a couple of minutes by the "Windows förbereds" (roughly translated to English "Preparing Windows"), and then the user gets logged in with a temporary profile.
- The event log says (translated using Google translate):
Failed to obtain a user profile disk for the user account with SID S-1-5-21-1477358240-4159876597-995667825-500.
Make sure the location of the user profile desk can be reached, the server's computer account has read and write permissions to the site and that there is a template file for user profile disks at the site.
Name of the virtual desk"font-size:14px;font-family:'Droid Serif', Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;color:#222222;line-height:23px;"

Please help, it should not be that hard to achieve this.

App-V 5 SP2 as RemoteApps and User Profile Disks with Error Error 0xc0000142

App-V packages are published as RemoteApps and User Profile Disks are used.
Similar to the problem posted
here .
Some packages are running without an error (e.g. Acrobat Reader) and some other (e.g. Notepad++) could not launch.
The result is "The application was unable to start correctly (0xc0000142). Click OK to close the Program.
If UPD is disabled, packages running before gets now the error and the non-launching apps are running now.
The post by Steve TH "App-V 5.0: On these 0xc0000142 errors and where they are coming from" give
me an idea what´s may going on. But could not find anything related in the logs.
An answer was set as solution in this
post but it´s not clear for me, how to setup the Sequencer.
8.3 is enabled on all VMs.
How to setup the sequencer and the UPD configuration to run this scenario without the error?

Issue in mapping custom user profile property with AD field in SharePoint 2013

Hello,
I am trying to map a custom user profile property i created "ADSecurityGroups", type - String, Multivalue with the AD propoerty named "memberOf" via powershell.
UserProfile Service is up and running, and so is the Synchronization Service. User executing the powershell has full control on the User Profile Service and is the farm administrator.
Following is the code snippet i grabbed from the internet which i am trying to execute.
Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.SharePoint.Powershell -ErrorAction "SilentlyContinue"
$url = "http://<servername:port>/" #URL of any site collection that is associated to the user profile service application.
$spsProperty = "ADSecurityGroups" #Internal name of the SharePoint user profile property
$fimProperty = "memberOf" #Name of the attribute in FIM/LDAP source
$connectionName = "UserProfileSyncConnection" #Name of the SharePoint synchronization connection
$site = Get-SPSite $url
if ($site)
Write-Host "Successfully obtained site reference!"
else
Write-Host "Failed to obtain site reference"
$serviceContext = Get-SPServiceContext($site)

The script is failing with the following error -

Where is the original user profile picture?

Hello,
I was wondering if anyone can help me locate the original user picture I took when I first started my Macbook Pro.
I accidently changed it to a photo i took on photobooth and I can't find it anymore.
The old one still appears on ''Messeges" as my picture but is nowhere to be found. I've looked in the Library Cache, User profile pics, etc.
Please help me if you know where I can find it.
Thank you

Hi,
I just finished my video on youtube about this profile picture location, and i will explain about it, so be sure to check it out!!!!

User Profile Disks with Windows Search

We have 2 RDS Servers (2012R2) and work With User Profile Disks
We use outlook cached mode (Outlook 2013 SP1) because the link to our head office is to slow
The problem is that the outlook search isn't working properly.
Every time the users logs on, search indexes are recreated
This proces never finishes because the server is under a constant load, therefore search never works as it should.
In eventvwr, we see this error alot:
Crawl could not be completed on content source <winrt://{S-1-5-21-xxxxxxxxxxxx}/>.
Context: Application, SystemIndex Catalog
Details:
The parameter is incorrect. (HRESULT : 0x80070057) (0x80070057)

Hi,
I have been searching for a solution for this issue in a client environment for a few months now.
Our environment is similar, RDS on Server 2012 R2 with Outlook in cached mode and the search service enabled However we are using Outlook 2010.
I disagree that the issue should be marked as resolved.
I believe you are experiencing the same issue as I and these 2 other people:
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/e6d4e3e6-37ef-488c-86ac-d135e3f2353f/windows-search-index-and-user-profile-disks?forum=winserverTS
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/dc6328e9-96dc-4377-a23f-0fb7020e5daa/indexing-user-profile-disk-on-a-file-server-or-on-the-rdsh-server?forum=winserverTS
When users logon, the search service begins indexing and if the user is logged on long enough it completes user files, including the OST.
However when the user logs off, Windows deletes the search data as it believes the profile has been deleted. The profile has not been deleted, the profile disk (UPD) has merely been dismounted.
We really need a resolution for this, this shouldn't be happening. The profiles are not getting deleted and the index is getting deleted for the wrong reason.
Furthermore if this issue is not fixable, then it will delay our push to move clients to Office 365. If we cannot index offline email on RDS, then we simply cannot move our Exchange servers offsite.
Unfortunately no resolution has been provided from Microsoft as yet to any of these 3 people who requested support.
Can anyone else shed any light on this?
Thanks, Nigel

User profiles deleted with migration assistant

I just bought my daughter a new MacBook Air to replace her 3 year old MacBook Pro. When she tried using Migration Assistant to transfer her files, it totally wiped out her user profiles so she couldn't log into the MacBoook Air any longer and she had to reset her MacBook Air completely. After resetting her MacBook Air and starting from scratch, she tried using MA again, but this time none of the new files showed up anywhere. What gives? Why is this not working. The two laptops are linked via a single ethernet cable.

Viewing Profile Pictures with New Blackberry Messenger

Hi,
My friends and I have upgraded to the new software BBM v5.0 AND added our photos on the same day as we downloaded the new BBM. In the beginning, non of us was able to see the other's profile pic, then a few days later we were able to see the pictures of some of our contacts and others we couldnt (I'm still talking about the same people who upgraded and added their photos).
Is everyone facing the same problem with the new BBM or is it just people living in Saudi Arabia?
Thank you for your feedback
Regards,
D

I had the same issue with a couple of US-based friends, and deleting that contact from my BBM list, and re-adding them solved it.

How should I set up my pictures with iCloud?

I am so confused with Photo Stream and my pictures.
Basically before the iPhone, I had all my pictures all my computer.
Got the iPhone and synced it through iTunes. This made two folders in my iPhone under Albums. A PHOTO LIBRARY folder and a My Pictures folder, exactly the same pictures.
QUESTION 1- Why did it do this and how can I fix it? Is it really taking up double space on my phone.
Then I got into the PhotoStream thing. I enabled it on my phone and download the Control Panel. Stupid iCloud makes you have two different folders for Uploads and Downloads on your computer. So I did it, and its working fine.
QUESTION 2- Is there a way to just have ONE folder with pictures for PhotoStream? I like the idea of Photostream and wireless sharing.
QUESTION 3- Lastly, I had an issue with Uploads not working on PhotoStream, so I changed some permissions on the Upload and Download folder and uninstalled and reinstalled the Control Panel. Now the pictures that download onto my computer from my phone, have a LOCK symbol next to them and I can't edit them with any pic-editing program. It gives a "This photo can't be saved because there is a problem with the photo file's properties" .. What is going on?
I know I'm asking for a lot but please HELP!

Question 1: You have to have both folders. The reason is because the actual photos you synced to your phone from your computer are all in Photo Library. The My Pictures album only contains links to the pictures in Photo Library, not duplicate pictures. If you synced multiple folders to your phone they would all appear on your phone as separate albums, and Photo Library would contain the combined pictures from all these albums.
Question 2: No, you have to have a separat upload and download folder using Photo Stream with Windows.
Question 3: Sorry, don't know what's going on there. You might need to reinstall the iCloud control panel for Windows but I'm not sure.
