Global Email Signature and Disclaimer

[mbowman]

I am looking for a way to deploy a standard signature to users on my
network. This would be deployed to Outlook 2003 and the Exchange
server is 2003 also. Is there a way of doing this with group policy
or
a way of deploying this with a script? Any help would be appreciated.

The disclaimer can be done from the Exchange end. In 5.5 you could do it
natively but now you need to use a third party application like GFI Mail
Essentials. The demo when downloaded and intalled gives you the disclaimer as
well as other options. After the demo expires, the disclaimer remains in
effect.

Signatures can be handled through GPO's as far as I know but someone will
come along who is more expert.

Hi Michael,

I've had really good luck with Exclaimer Mail Utilities (www.exclaimer.com)
for both disclaimers and signatures. Depending upon the size of your
environment and the functionality that you want/need, it might be more
effective to look at third party products like this and GFI Mail Essentials
to do the job, instead of rolling your own scripting solution (sorry, I
don't have any pointers for you on that one).

Cheers,

Jason

I would agree with Jason Miller. I have put Exclaimer Mail Utilities into my
org and it has done exactly as we required. You can set different rules to
display different signatures whether it is an internal contact or external.
You can also create signatures for receiving domains if you have partners or
sister companies.

Would definately recommend as it is not too expensive. It does need to be
installed at each MX server where mailboxes are stored. No extra cost for
this as long as you have the client licenses. I use it on a clustered MX
server andd it works fine.
