Exchange 2010 Gal Picture Upload Script.

Alright I been working on migrating to Exchange 2010 from Exchange 2007.  Once moved we wanted to upload the pictures for users. You can do this on Exchange 2007 not covered here though.

I made the below script by using multiple source to compile this. Some script I found did something I liked but lacked few things so I went ahead and made my own with all thse things I needed. I am pretty new to Powershell so if you find I can improve then do let me know :)

I added option to check if the picture is already on the user ad attribute to save time. You can disable it if you dont want that. I also used hashtable to keep a log file for successful or failed uploads of pics.

If you have any suggestions to add to this script do let me know :)

You probably need to change Pickup folder location which is $PicFolder

=============Update: 10/11/11===========

I did not explain what this script does cause I thought it was pretty much straight forward cause of comments I added. But anyways I looked at the post today and thought hell it doesn't really say that this can do.

So here it is :- (I listed it in way of execution)

1- Gets users from exchange with get-mailbox | foreach

2- Create and datestamp log files with start of script. (I didnt know how to datestamp each line so had to create it head of execution of script. Maybe someone can help me out with this.

3- Initiate Hashtables for Success Log (Slist) and Failed Log (Flist).

4- For each users found with get-mailbox fetch $alias from it and check $alias.jpg file in pickup folder. If the pic is not there for $alias skip user.

5- Function ChkPic is to check if user has picture already assigned if so skip the user. This is usefull if want to re-run this script with new pictures added to pickup folder. Method used here is Export-RecipientDataProperty with username to see if it shows something. Usually if pic is there it will show RunspaceID in the result. I using that as my ref for pic is there.

6- Check picture file size if its less then or equal to 10k. If bigger than 10k skip user. Otherwise go ahead.

7- So finally we reached here after all that checks YAY. Go ahead and import picture.

8- So you remember that ChkPic (Step 5) I created? we are going to use it again to check if it uploaded the picture successfully. Does the same thing but after uploading. If it finds the pic it says all good otherwise logs it to Flist and displays error.

9- Display information about the logs and location to user.

10- End Script

Please leave a comment cause sometimes I feel that no one is reading this LOL. :p anyways it comes handy for me :)
