User Groups
| Name | Description | Type |
| OSIGADMIN | Outlook Signature Admin Group | Security Group – Global |
| MTSE001 | User Outlook Signature Template in Swedish without Mobile Number | Security Group – Global |
| MTSE002 | User Outlook Signature Template in Swedish with the Mobile Number | Security Group – Global |
Nomeclature for Creation of User Groups
Example:
MTSE001
MT = MUTEGA IT
SE = Swedish
001 = Template number 001
The security group and the template .docx must have the same name, as I should describe further on.
Active Directory Fields
The Outlook Signature gets the information from the Active Directory, so we need to fill up the following fields.
AD Fields
DisplayName
Title
telephoneNumber
mobileNumber
EmailAddress
wWWHomePage
Outlook Signature localization (Example)
Location of the script files: \mutega.localSysVolmutega.localscriptsOutlookSignature
Location of the logon file: \mutega.localSysVolmutega.localPolicies{xxxxx-xxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx}UserScriptsLogon
Location of the Outlook Signature of the Clients: %appdata%mutegaOutlooksignature
Final location of the Outlook Signature on the Clients: %appdata%MicrosoftSignatures
Outlook e-mail Signature GPO
This GPO is the one responsible to run Outlook Signature script at the Log On.
Name of the GPO: OutlookSignature
Fuction: Running the file Run_LO.cmd for the users that below to the Outlook Signature Security Group.
Outlook Signature Execution
The Outlook signature runs allow on the Logon, but the execution only occurs in the following conditions:
- The version of the Signature is not the same;
- The user is added to an Outlook Signature security group;
- The user is changed to a new Outlook Signature security group to another one;
- The Signature file under %appdata%MicrosoftSignatures is deleted manually.
Outlook Signature Desktop Icon
Now the user has the possibility to recreate the Outlook Signature.
- The shortcut is called ReCreate Outlook Signature, and if the end-user double clicks it, will recreate the Outlook Signature
