Webex Teams avatar sync/cache problem

Michiel Vercoutter — Thu, 09 Jul 2020 06:57:40 GMT

Hi,

I have a sync problem with the Webex Teams avatars/profile pictures.

Our Webex Teams is synced with Cisco Directory Connector, which is synced with our Microsoft domain.

On the Directory Connector, the avatar is displayed correctly (Configuration > Avatar > Get user's avatar).

On the Webex control hub and teams application, it are still the old avatars that are displayed, so it seems like there is a cache issue somewhere.

I've tried deleting the cache (C:\Program Files (x86)\Cisco Systems\Cisco Directory Connector\Plugins\DirSyncPluginAvatar.dll-cache.bin) and performing a dry run sync and a full sync, but still the old avatars remain on the Webex control hub and teams application.

Anyone any ideas on how to resolve this issue?

Thanks in advance.

How much time has passed since you began syncing new avatar photos with a full sync? I have seen it take a days to refresh caches client-side. I want to say WCH updated within 24hours though.

Does the new photo appear if you login to https://settings.webex.com/main/profile?

Hi Jonathan,

Thank you for your reply.

It has been a week now, so normally everything should be synced.

The new photo does not appear on https://settings.webex.com/main/profile

I also tried deactivating the sync between WCH and the Directory Connector, reinstalling the Connector and syncing everything again, but still no luck.

I suggest opening a TAC case at this point. Something must be hung up on the backend.
