I am curios, what it the reason for this requirement? A lot of effort has been made by software creators like MS to provide users the ability to personalize the systems that they use many hours a day. Why does a company think that allowing their staff to change a photo is a bad idea?

Dear Dean,
This question is also opened in our case, and finally we let the Picture profile management to the Users himself but encouraging to respect some HR policy (not place picture of someone else like baby, not place to much holidays pictures, not place logo pictures, etc. ...).
Another case, i can see is to let only one place managing the user profile picture which could be the internal HRIS Application. This is the high level point in our company when the deployment application will be done globally (more than 120 countries and more than 80'000 concerned).
So anyway, i think it could be anyway better to educate the user to explain them what is acceptable and what is not, than block them.
