Manage Email Signatures centrally from your Desktop - For All Users

Bjarne Mess

This article describes how to deploy signatures with eMailSignature in a structure like this, where we need to point specifically to a part of the domain:

In special cases you need to point sign.exe to look specifically into e.g. uk.brandedmails.com and the US users into us.brandedmails.com. To do so please follow these steps:

Create two reg files with this content:

Code:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Office add-on\eMailSignature]
"root"="LDAP://dc=us.dc=brandedmails,dc=com"

and

Code:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Office add-on\eMailSignature]
"root"="LDAP://dc=uk.dc=brandedmails,dc=com"

Name them uk.reg and us.reg, respectively.
Before running sign.exe for UK users, run the uk.reg file before sign.exe. This will write the root key into registry and hence redirect sign.exe to the specific portion of the AD. Do the similar thing with US by running us.reg before sign.exe for US users.
When users run sign.exe they will now pick up the correct information and generate signatures as desired.
