Resize User Photos and Import them into Active Directory Accounts using PowerShell and ImageMagick.
This script looks in a specified path for photos named with the EmployeeID attribute of the users in a specified OU, resizes the images to the correct size and then writes the images into the thubnailPhoto attribute of the users Active Directory account.
As always, no responsibility is accepted for it's use.
