standardise email format

Ish · 8 Sep 2009 at 10:37

Hi

We want so give our emails a more corporate looks by making sure that everyone uses the same font & colour.

Is there any way of doing this through SBS 2003 instead of relying on invidual users to do this?

All users use either outlook 2003 & OWA for email.

Thanks

It's a client setting I believe. You could have a look at Office group policies:

Yes.

You can do this via GPO and a VBS script.

Custom Outlook ADM via GPO will set Outlook to use "x" signature and grey it out so it can't be changed.

VBS script autogenerates the signature files, .htm, .rtf and .txt. I did mine so it pulled their job description from AD and another couple bits.

Plenty of script examples around google eg:

Thanks. That should do it.

If you want a bit more control over the format of the signature, have a look at http://www.exclaimer.com/ - has a very nice package for the SBS.
