Deployment

This chapter explains how to set up the deployment of signatures and settings created with Symprex Email Signature Manager.

The deployment of signatures and settings is performed by a small command line utility, sign.exe, which connects to the central database and deploys the signatures and settings to Outlook, OWA and mobile devices.

Service deployment:

There is a third way to set up deployment of signatures to OWA and mobile devices, which is via the Email Signature Manager Deployment Service. This service does not deploy signatures to Outlook and is therefore normally used in combination with the command line utility, sign.exe. The primary benefit of using the deployment service is that it can deploy signatures to users who do not log on to the domain.
