Hi,

I would like to set the outlook default signature for new messages using
GPO, i searched arround and found the solution for outlook 2003 but the
problem is outlook 2007.

i found out that we can customise ADM file for outlook11.adm which i did and
OL2003 worked, i used the following

POLICY “Signature for new messages”
KEYNAME Software\Policies\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Common\MailSettings
PART “Signature for new messages” EDITTEXT
VALUENAME NewSignature

END PART
END POLICY
POLICY “Signature for replies and forwards”
KEYNAME Software\Policies\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Common\MailSettings
PART “Signature for replies and forwards” EDITTEXT
VALUENAME ReplySignature END PART
END POLICY


This was from Sue Mosher so thanks alot. But

What about outlook 2007, how can we set it up through GPO?

we have server 2003, exhcange 2003, XP pro with office 2003/2007.

I need help with this, Please.

Many Thanks

The same settings might work in OL2007 if you change Office\11.0 to Office\12.0. I haven't tried it myself, though.

Sue,

I hope you are still monitoring this thread as it is a couple of months old
now. I'm trying to use this method to deploy signatures and I have the ADM
template modified and see that the new option appears in the Group Policy
editor, but my delima is that I don't know what's it's asking for in the box
when I enable the policy. Ultimately, I would like to deploy an HTML based
signature. It has a graphic, a link and just the normal stuff with maybe a
little nicer font. Also, to take it a step further, I would like to
programmatically change the end user name and email address.

Thoughts?

Thanks,

Roger
