Set-UserPhoto Error – Now Solved 🙂

Error:

 

Proxy method PSWS:
Request return error with following error message:
The remote server returned an error: (413) Request Entity Too Large…
+ CategoryInfo          : NotSpecified: (:) [Set-UserPhoto], CmdletProxyException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : Microsoft.Exchange.Configuration.CmdletProxyException,Microsoft.Exchange.Management.RecipientTasks.SetUserPhoto

More Information:

Logged an issue in Connect

Refer to the Workaround posted which might have helped some. Unfortunately it didn’t work in WMF 4.0 at all. Recently, I thought of testing the case in Connect to explore some foot prints.

Reason:

The reason for the error is quite simple – Exchange Online will not allow images greater than 10 KB and 96 x 96

 Solution:

I tried to upload an image using the below PowerShell Code

Set-UserPhoto "Chendrayan" -PictureData ([System.IO.File]::ReadAllBytes("C:\Temp\TestImage.jpg")) -Confirm:$false

Exploring LYNC Contact folders using PowerShell.

Get-MailboxFolderStatistics will display all the folders information in users mailbox. So using this we can explore LYNC Contacts with the folder type ‘Quick Contacts’.

Get-MailboxFolderStatistics -Identity <MailboxID> | 
? {$_.FolderType -eq 'QuickContacts'}

Lync Contact Folders with 0 EntriesLync Contact Folders with 0 Entries

If we delete lync contacts programmatically it may appear as GUID as well. Like shown below.

Get-MailboxFolderStatistics -Identity <MailboxID> | 
Select Name , ItemsinFolder | ft -AutoSize

2Underneath Contacts we can see two GUID – That’s LYNC and GAL Contacts
