photos

Are their any known issues with storing employee photos in AD provided you store them in the compliant sizes and formats?

Is there a critical mass that you break or could corrupt AD databases?

I'm trying to understand some of the server teams deep concerns with our intent to store employee photos in AD... they fear it will corrupt the database or replication issues will occur globally, etc.

We're about a 3,000 employee company.
