Get-UserPhoto cmdlet may throw UserPhotoNotFoundException

Based on my last Get-userphoto blogpost, if you run the Exchange Powershell then you may get the following error:

Error on proxy command 'Get-UserPhoto -Identity:'CN=svcadmin,OU=xxxx.onmicrosoft.com,OU=Microsoft Exchange Hosted
Organizations,DC=xxxx,DC=xxx,DC=outlook,DC=com'' to server xxxx.xxxx.xxx.outlook.com: Server version 15.20.xxxx.0000, Proxy method PSWS:
Cmdlet error with following error message:

Please note that you will get UserPhotoNotFoundException when you call Get-UserPhoto cmdlet call. It’s an expected behavior - as the given user photo is not set or no photo stored; validate in ECP or Admin Center whether the given user photo is set.

Hope this helps.
