SharePoint Profile Photos - Importing to AD profiles

Question

Would anyone know how to import photos from users profile in SharePoint to Active Directory?  I see that you can do it from AD to SharePoint but can't find anything for the reverse.

Thanks!

It should be as easy as configuring profile synchronization. Please check out the two links below.

Chris,

This is great, thanks!  I've got one question for you though...do you know if there is a size limit for the picture size?  We just want to be sure it doesn't affect AD database replication.

Thanks!!
