MC678855 - ExchangePowerShell: retirement of tenant admin cmdlets to Get, Set, and Remove UserPhotos

Updated April 15, 2024: We have updated the timing of this change and apologize for any confusion. Thank you for your patience.

We are working to ensure a coherent user profile image experience by retiring legacy profile photo services. This announcement covers the retirement of the ExchangePowerShell UserPhoto cmdlets for tenant admins to Get, Set, and Remove user profile photos:

• Get-UserPhoto
• Set-UserPhoto
• Remove-UserPhoto

When this will happen:

The retirement is scheduled for late March 2024.

How this affects your organization:

After this change the ExchangePowerShell UserPhoto cmdlets for tenant admins to Get, Set, and Remove user profile photos will no longer be usable.

Tenant admins can perform the same actions to Get, Set, and Remove user profile photos through the Microsoft Graph PowerShell SDK, or alternatively can administer the user photos through Azure Active Directory or through Microsoft 365 Admin Center, as described in this article.

What you can do to prepare:

You may consider updating training and documentation as appropriate.
