In the SharePoint 2013 Tips sharing Series-Active Directory sync display user Photos This article describes how to synchronize Active directory to display user photos, but the user photo size and sharpness are not ideal when the synchronization is complete. This article describes how to synchronize Exchange Server display high-definition user photos.
Principle
Similar to SharePoint Server 2010, a directory of user photos exists in SharePoint Server 2013. When SharePoint enables Exchange photo synchronization, SharePoint will use Exchange Server 2013 as a photo access directory, and the SharePoint local photo directory will be masked, that is, After you set up Sharepoint-exchange photo synchronization, users are not allowed to modify their avatar photos through SharePoint. In the central Administration-user profile-manage User profiles, you can see the Picture property display "You can ' t change this person ' s photo because It is synchronized with Microsoft Exchange. ".
It is to be noted that when synchronizing settings are made, the Exchange Server is configured with a simple configuration and you need to restart IIS. In SharePoint 2013, you need to configure related permissions and services so that SharePoint 2013 can connect to Exchange Server and get user data.
Environment example
To avoid misunderstanding, here we implement the definition of some environment configuration to facilitate the call in the detailed steps:
1. SharePoint Server 2013 (http://people), you need to add alternate access mapping https://people. This connection points to my Site.
2. Exchange 2013 Client Access Server (FQDN) http://e15fe.test.com.
3. Exchange 2013 Mailbox Server (FQDN) http://e15be.test.com. Confirm that the test user account has been created, such as kevin@test.com. Also confirm that the HD photo has been uploaded.
4. Add the DNS record so that autodiscover.test.com points to http://e15fe.test.com.
