Execute this SQL Statement (SQL Server 2008 is supported)
In the Query Editor window, copy and execute the code (Press F5 to execute the statement).
Before executing the statement you might want to change user names and passwords:
- The eMailSignature_Superuser is a user who have the administrative privileges to all features in the Cockpit, e.g. change signatures, campaigns, disclaimers etc.
  If you want to change this name and password, then search for 'eMailSignature_Superuser' and 'changemenow'.
- The eMailSignature_Standarduser is a normal Outlook user with no administrative privileges and should be used during users logon.
  If you want to change this name and password, then search for 'eMailSignature_Standarduser' and 'changemealso'.
If you don't have SQL Server Management Studio installed, then open a command prompt window. In the Command Prompt window, type:
Connect your Cockpit to the database using eMailSignature_Superuser privileges. Click 'Change Database' in the Setup tab.
Copy Sign.exe to NETLOGON and execute below code manually using eMailSignature_Standarduser privileges.
When users are OK in Status Monitor (Diagnostics tab) you are ready to deploy email signatures from your database:

Code:

start \\[emailsignature2]\NETLOGON\sign.exe Provider=sqloledb;Data Source=[EMAILSIGNATURE2];Initial Catalog=eMailSignature;User Id=eMailSignature_Standarduser;Password=changemealso;
When finished testing, execute above code during users logon.
