Symprex Email Signature Manager, v5.2.0

Creating the Shared Folder

This topic explains how to set up the central shared folder for deployment of signatures and settings created with Symprex Email Signature Manager.

 

Note If you specifically want to set up deployment via Group Policy and to use Microsoft SQL Server for the database, you do not need to follow any of the steps below.

 

Please follow these steps:

 

1.On your chosen server, create a new network share; it is recommended to create a hidden share, which is done by ending the share name with a dollar sign ($).
 
2.Set the following permissions on the network share:
 
Users and Groups must have allow Read and Change rights on the network share.
 
è When using Microsoft SQL Server for the database, the Change right is not required.
 
3.Set the following permissions on the directory:
 
Users and Groups must have allow Read & Execute, List Folder Contents, Read and Write rights on the directory.
 
è When using Microsoft SQL Server for the database, the Write right is not required.
 
4.Copy settings.mdb from the Deployment directory where Email Signature Manager is installed to the network share.
 
Users and Groups will automatically have the appropriate inherited rights from the holding directory.
 
è When using Microsoft SQL Server for the database, skip this step.
 
5.Copy sign.exe from the Deployment directory where Email Signature Manager is installed to the network share.
 
Users and Groups will automatically have the appropriate inherited rights from the holding directory.
 
è When using Group Policy for deployment, skip this step.
 
Note: Users of versions 5.0.x and 5.1.0 will notice that SignMAPI32.exe and SignMAPI64.exe are no longer present in the Deployment directory. This is because they are now contained with sign.exe itself. If present, you may delete them from your shared folder.
 
6.Set the following permissions on the executable files:
 
Users and Groups must have deny Write right on the sign.exe, SignMAPI32.exe and SignMAPI64.exe executable files.
 
è When using Group Policy for deployment, skip this step.
 
7.Configure Email Signature Manager to connect to the database on the network share; refer to the Settings Database dialog.
 
è When using Microsoft SQL Server for the database, skip this step and see the topic on using Microsoft SQL Server.

 

Additional information:

 

By default Email Signature Manager is installed to C:\Program Files\Symprex\Email Signature Manager.
