Profile Pictures no longer display in MySites after moving MySite URL or changing web application in SharePoint 2013

1-    As a precaution, Backup the User Profile service application.

2-    Stop the User Profile synchronization service

Central Administration > System Settings > Manage Services on Server > User Profile Synchronization Service > Stop

3-    You must disable My Site cleanup timer job before you reset the synchronization database. (Otherwise, the job will delete all user profiles and My Sites from the farm) and Disable User Profile Incremental Synchronization timer job

Central Administration > Monitoring > Review Job Definition > My Site Cleanup Job > Disable

Central Administration > Monitoring > Review Job Definition > User Profile Service Application Name-User Profile Incremental Synchronization > Disable

4-    Stop the SharePoint 2013 Timer Service

SharePoint 2013 Management Shell (Run as Administrator) > net stop sptimerv4

5-    Reset the Synchronization Database

a-    SharePoint 2013 Management Shell (Run as Administrator) > Get-SPDatabase

Then find the ID of Sync DB (Default name is Sync DB).

b-    SharePoint 2013 Management Shell (Run as Administrator) > Get-SPServiceApplication

Then find the ID of User Profile Service App.

c-     Copy the following code and paste it into a text editor and save it as ResetSyncDB.ps1 :

$syncid = “<id from step a>”

$upaid = "<id from step b>"

$syncdb=Get-SPDatabase $syncid

$syncdb.Unprovision()

$syncdb.Status='Offline'

$upa= Get-SPServiceApplication $upaid

$upa.ResetSynchronizationMachine()

$upa.ResetSynchronizationDatabase()

$syncdb.Provision()

d-    In SharePoint 2013 Management Shell change the directory the where you saved the ResetSyncDB.ps1

Then type: ./ResetSyncDB.ps1

e-    Using SQL Server Management Studio, create a login in SQL Server for the User Profile synchronization service account (that is, the farm account). Then, in the synchronization database, create a database user who maps to the login and grant it access to the db_owner database role. (See How to: Create a SQL Server Login, How to: Create a Database User, and Database-Level Roles)

6-    Start the SharePoint 2013 Timer Service:

SharePoint 2013 Management Shell (Run as Administrator) > net start sptimerv4

7-    Start the User Profile synchronization service

Central Administration > System Settings > Manage Services on Server > User Profile Synchronization Service > Start

8-    Reset IIS:

SharePoint 2013 Management Shell (Run as Administrator) > iisreset

9-    Create connections to the data sources.

a-    Open User Profile Service Application Settings

Central Administration > Application Management > Service Application > Manage Service Application> User Profile Service Application

b-    Create New Synchronization Connection

Synchronization > Configure Synchronization Connection > Create New Connection

10-  Import Users Photos from Active Directory Into SharePoint

a-    in the User Profile Service Application Page

People > Manage User Properties > Picture > Edit

b-    Scroll down to the Add New Mapping section.  Choose your AD data connection, select the thumbnailPhoto attribute and click Add, followed by OK to save the change. This maps the SharePoint picture property to a user’s photo attribute in AD.

11-  Enable My Site Cleanup Timer Job and User Profile Incremental Synchronization timer job

a-    Run two full profile synchronizations.

b-    Once the second profile synchronization is finished, open the SharePoint 2013 Management Shell (Run as Administrator)

Update-SPProfilePhotoStore -CreateThumbnailsForImportedPhotos 1 -MySiteHostLocation <MySiteURL>

c-     After the second profile synchronization is finished;

Central Administration > Application Management > Service Application > Manage Service Application> User Profile Service Application > Manage User Profiles

d-    Next to View, select Profiles Missing from Import

e-    In the Find Profiles box, type the domain for the profiles and then click Find.

f-     For each profile that is returned, check the originating directory service, such as Active Directory, for the status of that profile. If the status of any of the returned profiles in the directory is not disabled or is not deleted, do not enable the My Site cleanup timer job (Ignore next step only). Contact Microsoft support for more assistance. Otherwise, enable the My Site cleanup timer job.

g-    Enable My Site Cleanup Job

Central Administration > Monitoring > Review Job Definition > My Site Cleanup Job > Enable

h-    Enable the User Profile Incremental Synchronization timer job

Central Administration > Monitoring > Review Job Definition > User Profile Service Application Name-User Profile Incremental Synchronization > Enable
