Manage Email Signatures Centrally - For All Users

mluchsinger

Scenario:
We have deployed the signature as Read Only (to prevent users from changing the look and feel). A user calls our Support Center to inform us that thier name is misspelled.

We are using a SQL DB to store signature info (Name, title, etc.).

The Support Center modifies the user's name in our SQL DB (via a web interface) to correct the spelling.

I need a way to allow our Support Center staff to redeploy the user's signature to them with the corrections without the user having to take any action.

My hope is that there is a command line switch to run sign.exe as the user for whom you are generating the signature - and that this can be added to our cmd file.

Like your idea Great

Unfortunately there is no command line switch to run sign.exe as a user.

I have added your suggestion as a feature request.

Exclamation

Some changes require Outlook to be closed to take effect, so executing only Sign.exe will not always do the job.

WORKAROUNDS

Ask user to run cmd file.
Remote control and execute cmd file.

Jesper is right. There is unfortunately not any possibilities to have the user generating the signature without running sign.exe. It is theoretically possible to do, but most infrastructures will not allow this due to virus protection.

Thanks.

I see in the diagnostic logs that it goes through a routine where it finds the DistinguishedName of the user. Does sign.exe pass or use an environment variable (%username%) to determine who's Distinguished name to retrieve? If so, can this be scripted to be spoofed for my purposes?
