Uploading Photos Using Outlook Web App

To upload photos as a user, Outlook Web App (OWA) is used. The following procedure would be used by the end user to upload the same photo to the mailbox using OWA:

1. Open a web browser and connect to the OWA URL, which by default is the fully qualified name of the Exchange 2013 Client Access Server, followed by /owa, for example, https://ex2k13.companyabc.com/owa.

2. At the Outlook Web App screen, enter the credentials for the user whose photo will be uploaded, and click Sign In.

3. If this is the first time the user is logging on to OWA on this system, an additional screen is presented allowing preferred display language and home time zone settings to be changed. Make any changes if necessary, and click Save.

4. When the mailbox is displayed, click on the user’s name in the upper-right section of the OWA window. The first item that appears in the resulting drop-down menu is the photo section; click the Change link.

5. At the Change Photo screen, click Browse, and then navigate to the location of the photo for the user. After the photo is selected, click Open.

6. The photo is now uploaded to the mailbox and is displayed in the Change Photo screen, as shown in Figure 21.7. Click Save.
