Using Set-UserPhoto returns "No photo with class 'IPM.UserPhoto.Preview' exists."

Question

Hello,
I'm trying to upload high res photo of our employees with the commands below.
But after the 'save' command the following error is shown:
No photo with class 'IPM.UserPhoto.Preview' exists.;
+ CategoryInfo          : NotSpecified: (:) [Set-UserPhoto], ObjectNotFoundException
Afterwards when checking the picture over EWS with the GetUserPhoto command, the image is working fine though.
I couldn't find anything related to this error on the web. We're using Exchange 2013 CU3.
Just wanted to check if we can just ignore this error and run the commands for all our users.
$photo = ([Byte[]] $(Get-Content -Path $picturePath -Encoding Byte -ReadCount 0))
Set-UserPhoto -Identity $UserIdentity -PictureData $photo -Confirm:False
Set-UserPhoto -Identity $UserIdentity -Save -Confirm:False

Hi,
Uploading the photo does not equate to assigning that photo to Ken Myer's user account. Instead, uploading the photo simply results in a preview of that photo to be displayed on the
Outlook Web App Options page. To actually assign that photo to the user account the user must click
Save on the Options page or the administrator must execute the third command in the example. That third command uses the Save parameter to assign the photo to Ken Myer's user account:
Set-UserPhoto -Identity "Ken Myer" -Save -Confirm:False
