How do I find out what the current version is? I just upgraded from 5.5 to 7.0.2, which I had downloaded a couple of months ago. I saw someone refer to 7.0.4. Is that what I will get if I go here? http://www.outlooksignature.com/downloads_final.shtml.
And is there any reason to do the upgrade from 7.0.2 to 7.0.4 or whatever the current version is?

I am on RSS and e-mail notification but most of the stuff is tech support and don't have time to read every day. So I may have missed reading upgrade notifications. And the problem is, figuring out where to download the current version from. Anyway, I now have 7.0.4 from your link and that seems to have fixed my database issue.

The URL above is now broken, so WHERE should I found the latest version?

Cockpit talks about 7.0.4 but the ACTUAL version on sign.exe is 7.0.0.4 according to Windows file properties, is this the same dispite the extra zero?

If not, where can I find the latest one?

Hi Kalle,

You are up-to-date as latest version is 7.0.4 (and your Sign.exe version is correct).

However, version 7.3 is released after Eastern. As you are registered on the support forums, your will be notified by email.

This is weird...

Even though the actual sign.exe file (located in \NETLOGON) is 7.0.4 the user log reports 7.0.2 for some users...

...Other users haven't run the sign.exe for over a month...

...yet some users are still having an empty logfile...

In the default Domain Policy's Login script I launch a .bat file containing this code, can anyone spot any errors in there?:

Beeing a bit more analytic I just realized that they were all the same users.

About 80% of my users:
- had an empty logfile
- Hadn't run sign.exe since january/february
- Reported that they used ver 7.0.2

I guess I've missed to update the sign.exe file to 7.0.2 a few months ago which might have currupted the DB.

I have deleted all theses users from within the Status Monitor in Cockpit now...
...stay tuned for a follow up after the easter...

Hi Kalle,

Just want to inform you that different version of Sign.exe will not corrupt the database. Only new features will not work.

Your fist step is to make sure that users actually execute Sign.exe 7.0.4 during logon, and not the older version.

Some ideas to try:

If users are still not showing with correct date/time, then replace IP with SERVERNAME:

Quote:

start \\[domain_controller]\netlogon\sign.exe Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=\\[file_server]\signature\settings.mdb
Check your database consistency in Cockpit > Diagnostics.
Using Access DB, these permissions are required; Read/Write/Update.
Troubleshoot using a simple - one line - bat file and see if that works manually.
