Manage Email Signatures Centrally - For All Users

jasonflory

I am trying to get the OWA module to work but I am running into issues
I have followed the instructions but keep getting “An OLE DB Provider was not specified in the ConnectionString” the connection string I am using is "Settingsdatabase"="Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data source=\\\\sfsops01\\EmailSignature\\settings.mdb"

The account I am using has full access the mailstore and the above share.

Regkey settings are:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Office add-on\eMailSignature]
"OWAssl"="0"
"OWAfba"="0"
"OWAuid"="emailsig"
"OWApwd"="######"
"OWAdomain"="anshen.com"
"OWAurl"="ex-01.anshen.com/exchange"
"Settingsdatabase"="\"Settingsdatabase\"=\"Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=\\\\\\\\sfsops01\\\\EmailSignature\\\\settings.mdb\""
"OWAusers"="Jtest02"

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Your signOWA.reg is not according to documentation :

The registry settings that I posted are from an export of that particular key which was inputed as stated in the documentation and apparently the registry editor adds all those additional backslash characters (\\) and additional quotes.

Which got me to thinking that this must be from the editor itself. I tried entering the datasource without the "" or the extra backslashes \\ and it worked perfectly.

The documentation makes it sound like you need to add the additional backslashes and use the format posted.

See below:
Settingsdatabase: Connection string to the settings database. Make sure that no single '\' are used as they are escape codes in a reg-file. E.g.:
Code:
"Settingsdatabase"="Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=\\\\server\\share\\settings.mdb"

I also removed the settingsdatabase=

Thanks
