• create a batch file on the Netlogon Share
• call your PowerShell Script:
  powershell -executionpolicy bypass -file \\%userdomain%\netlogon\PS_login.ps1

So for now I had to think of something.
As we have a synced environment (through DirSync) I thought I could make use of the AD User object property “ThumbnailPhoto”. If  I could fill this value with a jpg then it would get synced to office 365.
And for that I created a PowerShell Script.

Starting Point: I have a folder with all the JPG images which are named in the following format firstname.lastname@domainname.jpg (I got these from someone else, who saved them like that). So as u will see in the script below I had to use some string manipulation to match the JPG to a domain user

$photodir = "c:\temp\photo\"
$photos = Get-ChildItem -Path $photodir -Filter *.jpg

#itterate through Photos in Photo Directory
foreach ($photo in $photos)
{
	#store the raw file content of the image
	$jpg = [convert]::ToBase64String((get-content $photo.FullName -encoding byte))

	$Name = (($photo.Name).split("@")[0]).Replace("."," ")
	$LDAPString = "LDAP://cn=" + $Name + ",OU=OU1,dc=domain,dc=local"
	$userAD =  [adsi] $LDAPString
	$userAD.put("thumbnailPhoto",$jpg)
	$userAD.setinfo()
	Write-Host "Updated User " $userAD.name " Thumbnail Photo"
}

It will take some time before you see pictures.

I received the following error for a few images: Exception calling “setinfo” with “0″ argument(s): “A constraint violation occurred. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007202F)”.

I noticed that the thumpnailphoto attribute can’t hold more than about 75kb. So make sure you’re images are smaller.

$XMLTaskDir = "C:\Program Files (x86)\****\***\"
$Tasks = Get-ChildItem -Path $XMLTaskDir -Filter *.xml -Recurse

foreach ($task in $tasks)
{
    $TaskName = [io.path]::GetFileNameWithoutExtension($task)
    Register-ScheduledTask -Xml (get-content $task.FullName | out-string) -TaskName $TaskName –User <UserName> –Password <Password> -taskpath Imported
    Disable-ScheduledTask -TaskName $TaskName -TaskPath Imported
}

I solved the problem, by mounting the Windows Server 2012 installation media and issuing the following command:

Dism /online /enable-feature /featurename:NetFx3 /All /Source:<drive>:\sources\sxs /LimitAccess

Where <drive> stands for the drive letter of the mounted installation media

First connect to Office 365

Connect-msolService

Enter your Credentials, and then issue the next command:

Set-MsolUserPrincipalName -NewUserPrincipalName [New Name] -UserPrincipalName [Old Name] 

When first starting your AWS Powershell Tools, you have to specify your Access Key and you Secret Access Key.

They are then stored for future sessions.
You can also create another set of stored Credentials.

Set-AWSCredentials –AccessKey <Your Access Key> –Secretkey <Your Secret Key> –StoreAs SET1

SET1 is a name you can give to identify your credentials
You can now load your “SET1″ Credentials

Set-AWSCredentials –StoredCredentials SET1

I created the following script:

$OldestFileImport = get-childitem d: *.XML | where-object {$_.LastWriteTime -le [datetime]::today}
$OldestFileImport.count

After executing it gave me an empty return (??).
I was sure there was one older xml file in D:… So to test again, I copied 15 other (older) XML files to D:. Executed the PowerShell and it gave me a count of 16.

What the……

After examining with Powergui (long live powergui), I got to the answer.
When there is more than one xml in D:, $oldestFileImport will be an array so you can use the method .count.
If there is just one xml, it will return that one item (a FileSystem Object). So .count doesn’t work. To resolve it I had to add [array] to $OldestFileImport. So the complete script is:

[array]$OldestFileImport = get-childitem d: *.XML | where-object {$_.LastWriteTime -le [datetime]::today}
$OldestFileImport.count

$SourceDir = "C:Folder1"
$DestinationDir = "D:Folder2"

$files = get-childitem $SourceDir *.xml
foreach ($file in $files) 
{
$Directory = $DestinationDir + "" + $file.CreationTime.Date.ToString('dd-MM-yyyy')
if (!(Test-Path $Directory))
	{
	New-Item $directory -type directory
	}
	Move-Item $file.fullname $Directory

}
