I'm not quite clear what you mean. Are you saying that you have image files and some name/login associated with them. You want to use SSIS to import these thumbnail images into AD and somehow match them up?

Can you explain what you have for data and an example of what you'd like to see?

Along with an explanation of how SSIS fits into the picture.

A couple links to help you. Updating pictures is likely through PoSh or C#

That article shows how. If you are getting errors, we can't see them. However, this is really a PoSh/AD issues. if you are having issues, get that working from the PoSh command line. Post questions at MSDN: https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/Windows/en-US/home?forum=winserverpowershell
