When importing batches of pictures using AD Pictures, the software will resolve names of users using the following AD attributes:
- proxyAddresses
- displayName
- cn
If your pictures are named for a different field, AD pictures cannot import them
CAUSE
AD pictures version listed below cannot extend the attributes used for the name resolution as these are hard-coded to the list above.
RESOLUTION
AD Pictures build 1.02.1015 provides for a way to extend the fields used in name resolution.
MORE INFORMATION
Extra fields are permitted using a registry setting. To extend the fields for resolution, create/update the registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Exclaimer Ltd\AD Pictures\Extra Resolution Attributes with a list of comma separated AD field names.
Warning: Careless use of REGEDIT.EXE can render your system unstable. We do not recommend changing any other settings other than that specified in this KB article.
