download profile pictures powershell way

Question

I am using following powershell (that I got from here http://spsatheesh.wordpress.com/2011/06/03/download-all-the-profile-pictures-through-powershell-using-web-service/)so I can download all the profile pictures. The script runs and displays index number and the profile id (with domain) on the screen. however, profile pictures are not saved.

OK, I got your code working for me. You should change the property getter to look like the following, I left in the original lines for reference:

#$AccountName = $UPD.UserProfile[1].Values[0].Value 
$Prop = $UPD.UserProfile | Where-Object { $_.Name -eq "AccountName" } 
$AccountName = $Prop.Values[0].Value

#$PictureURL = $UPD.UserProfile[20].Values[0].Value 
$Prop = $UPD.UserProfile | Where-Object { $_.Name -eq "PictureURL" } 
$PictureURL = $Prop.Values[0].Value

I am sure there is a better way in PowerShell, but this should work for you.
