Cisco Jabber for Windows User Photos

[Ellen Kennedy]

CUPS 8.6.3

Jabber Client for Windows Version 9.0.1 Build 8802

I noticed that the Cisco Jabber for Windows Client does not automatically update with the photos that updated in Active Directory.

I had updated a user's photo in AD and noticed that it would not change. I browsed to "C:\Users\<user name>\App Data\Local\Cisco\Unified Communications\Jabber\CSF\Photos" and had to manually delete the user photos in this folder. I exited out of the Jabber Client and restarted the program. When I did this, the Jabber Client crashed, I saved the crash report, and re-opend the Jabber client. This time the client opened properly, and the updated photos were now appearing!

Seems like Cisco would not have set the photos to Cache to the local computer....

Any thoughts?

Hey Ellen,

Seems like the similar issue with CUPC. I had a discussion previously with our Dev Team for CUPC caching Photos locally.

This has been identified in the following enhancement:

CSCtu25084    CUPC Contact Picture Cached and not updating dynamically

http://tools.cisco.com/Support/BugToolKit/search/getBugDetails.do?method=fetchBugDetails&bugId=CSCtu25084

I'll update that to add Cisco Jabber for Windows as well.

Best Regards,

Jas

The bold is how we pulled photos from a directory on a web server

If you don't have IIS running on a server you can replace

http://www.yourinternalwebserver.com/User%20Photos/Profile%20Pictures/sAMAccountName.jpg

with

\\Your server\c$\PhotoFolder\sAMAccountName.jpg
