Active directory pictures on ActiveSync devices

I have added pictures to exchange users using Import-RecipientDataProperty  command. on the mobile phone i chose to sync contacts between phone and exchange. the problem is that the picture only appears in outlook, not in OWA nor activesync.

Is there any solution or work around to make the imported picture appears on the phone contact??

GAL Photo support on mobile devices is device dependant - ie it isn't something that is controlled from the server, the device has to support it.

Almost no third party device has implemented GAL photos.

This table on Wikipedia is maintained by Microsoft and outlines the features of the various ActiveSync clients

However you should have GAL photos in OWA - as that does support it. Ensure that you are using a modern browser. I would also check the images are of the suitable size. I tend to use a third party tool to import the information -

Hi,

Great advice from Simon.

As far as I know, the OWA application for Exchange 2010 does not include the feature of showing pictures by default.

However, I find an article about "How To Show GAL Photos / Pictures In Exchange 2010 Outlook Web App", for your reference: http://blog.leederbyshire.com/2012/11/07/how-to-show-gal-photos-pictures-in-exchange-2010-outlook-web-app/
