Outlook 2010 photos not showing in sent email header

outlookpictures

I have been searching around in other posts but the common solution is to turn off "Show users photos when available" I know how to do that and that is not what I need a solution for at the moment.

Currently, when I send an email my photo appears in the email header and other users can see it. However I have had people ask how I activated this feature and I have no idea. My photo is not added in AD I have only added it in outlook. We have compared settings between me and someone who is not working and can't find a difference.

One thing I did notice is I see my picture next to account settings, one of the other users sees his picture everywhere but there and there is no option to add the picture there.

Any advice on how to activate this feature for other users?

(by the way, I'm assuming you are the IT admin involved...otherwise this really belongs on superuser.com)

Or see the answer here on Superuser for a "non-admin" way of doing it (ie. manually via the client side): https://superuser.com/questions/500095/how-do-i-add-my-photo-to-my-account-in-outlook-2010

Exchange bouncing email sent by Outlook

I had a similar problem once when a user had been moved to a different Exchange cluster, but Outlook had cached the previous reference and kept trying to send to the previous cluster, even when I specifically selected the user from the Global Address list.

The way I fixed it was in Outlook, start typing the user's name until it auto-suggests the username, use the arrow key to select the name in the auto-suggest list and hit Delete. Try typing the name again and it shouldn't auto-detect it, so you can then select the user from the GAL.

Add Pictures to Active Directory for Outlook Contacts

The thumbnailPhoto attribute on each user object is where you want to store this information; you can import it with the Import-RecipientDataProperty powershell cmdlet. Microsoft's example:

Import-RecipientDataProperty -Identity Ayla -Picture -FileData ([Byte[]]$(Get-Content -Path "M:\Employee Photos\AylaKol.jpg" -Encoding Byte -ReadCount 0))

The cmdlet will only upload a photo of 10KB or smaller (though the schema attribute has a rangeUpper of 100KB, so that ought the be the actual limit), so you'll probably need to normalize the images to fit that limit first.
