Symprex Email Signature Manager, v5.1.0

Deployment via Group Policy

Deployment via Group Policy installs sign.exe and an associated sign.ini file on to each user's computer using an MSI package, removing the need to call sign.exe from a logon script. The following guidelines can be used to deploy signatures using this method:

 

1.Download the latest MSI package from the Symprex website:
 
http://www.symprex.com/products/msm/link/msi.asp
 
2.Place the MSI package in a shared location to which your domain users have access.
 
3.Create a configuration file sign.ini and place it in the same directory as the MSI package; see saving the connection settings.
 
4.Using Group Policy Manager, define a new rule for deploying the MSI package to the appropriate domain users (details on how to accomplish this are out of the scope of this documentation; if you need assistance with this please contact the Symprex support team).

 

Once the group policy has been configured in your domain, the sign.exe deployment tool will be automatically installed on each user's machine. During this process, the sign.ini file created in step 3 will also be copied to the installation folder (normally C:\Program Files\Symprex\Email Signature Manager Sign). Subsequently, when the user logs on, sign.exe will be automatically run and connect to the database specified in the configuration file to deploy signatures and settings.
