Hi Brent Ellis ,

We're having the same issue and I've already created a support case.

I'll have to wait until Jan 26th 1pm to give you final response though, since there is supposed to be a 72h window in some cases (I doubt thats totally correct).

 

We've managed to figure out a workaround in some cases, though this mostly worked for new Office 365 groups, but not already existing ones.

Connect to Exchange Online through powershell and change the image, though make sure you use this URIconnection parameter to support high-res images.

 

$credential = Get-Credential
Import-Module MsOnline
Connect-MsolService -Credential $credential

$exchangeSession = New-PSSession -ConfigurationName Microsoft.Exchange -ConnectionUri "https://outlook.office365.com/powershell-liveid/?proxymethod=rps" -Credential $credential -Authentication "Basic" -AllowRedirection

Import-PSSession $exchangeSession -DisableNameChecking

this worked for most of my groups.

 

I'm in the situation where I have

 

  • old groups, with new icon everywhere except sharepoint and sharepoint home
  • new groups with new icon everywhere except sharepoint and sharepoint home
  • new groups with new icons everywhere except sharpoint home (it's there at the teamsite, just not on sharepoitn home)

 

There are definitely some issues going on with Sharepoint Home and to be honest this all started last year, when Microsoft introduced new code and messed up the color accents on SharePoint home. Every since then I've had search cache issues, group icon issues, and so on.
