AD user entries: photos included?

The question: When using Active Directory to manage user accounts on
the network, does it provide for including a photo of the user as part
of the AD record? Outlook does, so I was curious if AD did so also.

The reason: Aside from general curiosity, I thought that it might be a
good security measure in large companies. One such scenario: user guy
comes in and asks for this or that to be changed, so help desk guy has
a photo on the AD record to make sure that the guy asking for
such-and-such is the real person associated with that AD record.

Thanks in advance.
