Change Default Picture

[DSAGEY]

Hello,

 

Does anyone know of a script or easy way to update all users account pictures from the default to our school logo? Most of our machines are Windows 11 and have a handful of machines on Windows 10.

 

I have searched up on it but the only way I have found is to do it manually?

 

Thank you

I'm sure I have this at one site, but not there until Tuesday and no remote access.

 

Does this method not work? https://admx.help/?Category=Windows_10_2016&Policy=Microsoft.Policies.ControlPanel2::UseDefaultTile

 

You may also be able to use:

 

 

Just copy a suitable image to the default path as in the first solution.

Depends on what is needed, I think that only changes the cyclops picture to what you choose. It won't change the AD picture or be loaded up to Azure or O365

This code will set an O365 picture of a chosen Group.

# Set School logo as 365 picture
#Connect Exchange Online
Import-Module ExchangeOnlineManagement
Connect-ExchangeOnline
#Connect AAD for groups
Connect-AzureAD
#Logo location
$logo = "c:\random\o365Logo.png"
#get groupID of Group to look at
$group = Get-AzureADGroup -Filter "DisplayName eq 'All Pupils Sixth Form'"
#Members of group
$groupMembers = Get-AzureADGroupMember -ObjectID $group.ObjectId -All $true

ForEach ($groupMember in $GroupMembers) {
   Write-Host "Updating photo for" $groupMember.DisplayName -Foregroundcolor Red
   Set-UserPhoto -Identity $groupMember.UserPrincipalName -PictureData ([system.IO.File]::ReadAllBytes($logo)) -Confirm:$false
}

Thank you - we don't usse Azure, I just simply want to change the account picture on the login screen and start button.
