SharePoint 2013: Profile Pictures not showing in User Information List

Scenario:

Refer to this post for the scenario.
Here there can be other reasons as well for example check out your my sites hosting location.
There can be a situation that somebody in the past changed the location of My site as in my case it was changed 3 times.

Resolution:

If you are facing similar sort of problem then first you should verify the following:
  1. Are the profile picture uploaded in the first place? for that you may want to check inside Manage User Profile in User Profile Service Application. 
  2. Does the Profile picture appear on the my site of the user? Visit the user profile and also check out User Photos under my sites. 
  3. If the photos do exist in User Photos Library then perhaps you can 

$web=Get-SPWeb "http://SharePoint/"
$list= $web.SiteUserInfoList
$user=$web.Ensureuser("User's display name")
$listitem=$list.GetItemById($user.Id)
$listitem["Picture"]="http://my/User Photos/Profilbilder/cellent_Name_MThumb.jpg"
$listitem.update()
$list.update()
$web.Dispose()

$site = get-spsite "http://intranet/"

#Give URL of a site collection whose web application is associated with this user profile service application
$context=  [Microsoft.office.server.servercontext]::GetContext($site)
$userProfileManager = new-object Microsoft.office.server.userprofiles.userprofilemanager($context)
$profiles = $userProfileManager.GetEnumerator()
   foreach ($profile in $profiles)
    {
     if($profile["AccountName"].value -eq "Cellent\amattuzzi")
        {
           
$profile["pictureurl"].value

           
       }
    }  

aMattuzzi
cellent\cgeyer

 $url = "http://my/User%20Photos/Profilbilder/cellent_aMattuzzi_MThumb.jpg"
              $profile["pictureurl"].value = $url
              $profile.commit()

Mattuzzi, Ana


#Get your root web
$web=Get-SPWeb "http://intranet/"

#Get the User Information list
$list= $web.SiteUserInfoList

#Get the respective user
$user=$web.Ensureuser("Mattuzzi, Ana")

#get the user from User Information List
$listitem=$list.GetItemById($user.Id)

#set the value of picture field to empty
$listitem["Picture"]="http://my:80/User Photos/Profilbilder/cellent_AMattuzzi_MThumb.jpg"

#update the current list item
$listitem.update()

#update current list
$list.update()
$web.Dispose()




Well this was a hard nut to crack.

SPFx: Develop using SharePoint Framework without Installing all the dependecies.

Image
SharePoint Framework (SPFx) has been around for more than 5 years now with being Generally available since Feb 2017.  In the recent times, its been possible to develop webparts for SharePoint on-prem as well using SPFx and with that it is getting harder to maintain multiple versions of required toolchains. e.g. Node. For M365 you can use the latest version of SPFx but probably you know, if you aim to develop webparts for the SharePoint Server 2016 platform, for instance, you need to use the SharePoint Framework v1.1.0 due to the server-side version dependencies. So yet another challenge is using the correct version of the SPFx and Nodejs for the particular project . Although I personally used to like Node Version Manager which lets you manage multiple installations of node.js on a Windows computer but still one needs to isolate SharePoint Framework dependencies if you are targeting multiple platform from on PC. 2nd Problematic scenario begins when you start developing SPFx extensi...

SharePoint 2010 Migration Woes: Importing and exporting lists template between different SP2010 Servers

Image
Migrations of SharePoint contents from one server to another can be a big PITA. Once I came across a  scenario  where I had to export a couple of lists from SharePoint online i.e. Office 365 to the SharePoint 2010 on my local server.  What I did is to copy the required lists along with content by creating a list template i.e. via .stp file. Then I upload it to my local SharePoint 2010 server's list template gallery. Later I  successfully  created a new list with the uploaded template. For that I took the following steps: Open your SharePoint site in the SharePoint designer 2010. Select Lists and libraries. Select you desire list and the click on the "Save as Template" from the ribbon. You'll be redirected to the SharePoint site and there after filling in the required fields and pressing OK , .stp will be created. This template can be viewed in Site Action -> Site Setting -> Galleries ->List Template. Select the list template and then from ...

SharePoint Online: Elevated Permissions....with love

Image
Remember the good old days! when using RunWithElevatedPrivileges(SPSecurity.CodeToRunElevated), in the SharePoint server-side object model, would let us run our code (Full trust code) with full control i.e. granting us higher permission (as System Account) and letting us performs tasks that waren't permited to do in current user context.  Now, that, we have SharePoint addin and SharePoint online webparts, one still wonders if there is still a way of achieving that. Since there are use cases where a user needs a higher permission, for instance.  Changing a status of a field in a list where the current logged in user has read only permission.  Reading member of a SharePoint group.  In Workflows  like SharePoint Designer workflow you used to have App step, in Nintex workflow you have elevated permission and in MS Flow Impersonation is possible using connectors in Flow triggered by HTTP request can run under System account as show in the video below:  Other wa...
