Roaming Outlook Signatures without a roaming profile

[Fraser-09]

Hi all,

 

I looking for some help/advice to a solution for an obstacle I have with Microsoft Outlook (2010) Signatures. My users do not have roaming profiles but instead they have a home directory (H) which is accessible from any computer. I would like to have the signatures move with the users as they move from computer to computer.

 

A few months ago, I came up with a couple of simple scripts to move the signatures by using the Home directory.

 

Basically, it worked like this,

Log Off script:

Check if %Appdata%\Microsoft\Signatures exists, quit if not

delete h:\Signatures

copy %Appdata%\Microsoft\Signatures to h:\

hide h:\signatures

 

Log on Script:

Check if h:\Signatures exists, quit if not.

delete %Appdata%\Microsoft\Signatures

copy h:\signatures to %Appdata%\Microsoft\Signatures

unhide %Appdata%\Microsoft\Signatures

 

 

Now this solution works however when a user moves computer, they loose their "Default Signature" setting so they need to manually select their signature when they compose a new email, or reconfigure the outlook signature options.

 

Does anyone know where this setting is actually stored? I was hoping it was a registry entry (that I could export at logoff and import at login, similar to the way the signatures "roam") however I can't find it.

 

Or, is their a better way to do this, without using roaming profiles ?

 

 

 

Thanks for reading, looking forward to your suggestions/comments.

Perhaps How to deploy a default email signature in Outlook might help?
