Microsoft Teams Client customisation settings via PowerShell

Published by Joerg Hochwald on 2019-08-10

I deploy Microsoft Teams to all my clients by default. Some of the default settings are not what I want, but many of my test clients are not managed in a domain (or just Azure Active Directory joined), and that makes it hard to deploy any configuration. And as a bonus, I use Mac Clients!

I started to create a PowerShell Script to manipulate the desktop-config.json. During some digging, I found an article Eli Shlomo: Microsoft Teams Client Personalization with PowerShell. I really liked his code, so I decided to drop my approach and adopted his solution to fit my own requirements.

Copy AD group memberships from a given Source User to a Target User

I while ago I publish some PowerShell tooling to copy the Active Directory group memberships between users. The tooling also able to sync the group memberships; if the Target User belongs to a group whom the Source User doesn’t, the tooling can remove these groups. That is perfect for cloning or during the movement of users between divisions.

Tool that bulk imports or removes User pictures

Published by Joerg Hochwald on 2017-06-01

Simple Tool that bulk imports or removes user pictures, based on AD Group Membership.
If a user is in both groups, the picture will be removed!
Idea based on my old tool to import Active Directory pictures.
They are a bit to tiny, so I use Exchange now to make them look better in Exchange and Skype.

The tool will not check the pictures. As long as a picture exists, it will try to import it. Then the Exchange Server might reject the import, and you will get a warning. Same for users with non existing Mailboxes: The Tool will not check anything for the User before it tries to import the picture.

The Pictures should be in the JPG format and not larger than 648x648px. With a depth of 24 bits, each picture has around 200-250 kilobytes. Keep that in mind if you load a big bunch of pictures.

The following formats are used:

  • 48x48px – Active Directory thumbnailPhoto
  • 96x96px – Outlook, Outlook Web Access, Lync/Skype and SharePoint
  • 648x648px – Lync/Skype Clients and Lync/Skype Web App
