Contact photos (thumbnails) and address not shown in Business Cards #77

Closed tipanic closed 1 year ago

tipanic commented 1 year ago

Hello, thank you very much for this script, i just set it up initially and synced the contacts into one mailbox.

The Photos of all users are showing up, if i have the people view active, but when i switch to Business Card view , there are no photos shown in Outlook. Also the Address field is empty, while under people view its shown. When i open a contact and press "Update", the photo and address will show up.

Is there a way to fix this problem? I know that "Contact Sync" from NetSec has the exact same problem with O365 contacts. When i manually copy the GAL into my contacts folder, all informations are shown in the Business Card view, but its not a convenient way for all users.

This script does not currently sync users' photos. Realistically, I won't add this feature anytime soon since including photos would drastically slow the speed of the sync. If you're up for the challenge, EWS does support this, as shown below.
