Manage Email Signatures Centrally - For All Users

We are testing eMailSignature to implement in one of our client location..

Before implementing it in clients location I am trying to do it locally and I have few queries on this..

Can I use this product in a normal work group network?
We are not using AD or a domain machine to manage all the computers in the network..

I have installed eMailSignature in my local machine and successfully able to set up a dynamic signature from Sql Server table fields.. but how can i control other users outlook from my machine?? In the eMailSignature users listing its showing only my logon name..

Please help..

Two things you need to do ...

Copy your settings.mdb and Sign.exe to a netshare with min. Read/Write permissions for all users.
Create script users must execute. Example;

Code:

start \\FileServer\share\sign.exe Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=\\FileServer\share\settings.mdb

Try and execute script automatically during logon - or use the Windows startup folder is you have no other alternative.
When you see users OK in Diagnostics after running your script - everything is working! Then check Outlook ...

Make sense?

Thanks it got working...

My client has proper network and he got AD in his domain.. so hope I don't need to execute the script in all client machines..

Now my second issue is
I need to set four different signatures based on the users department,, I have checked the documentation and understand I can set it using Actions menu -> Rule-Based Deployment option.. But in the trial version I installed in my machine I couldn't see this option anywhere.. can you please explain me how can I do this..
