This script will extract information from Active Directory, format the text and set it as the default signature in Outlook.
Hopefully the notes in the script will show what needs to be modified, if you need help send me an email.
It is a heavily modified version for the script from Captain Qwerty at EduGeek.
Both HTML and TXT signatures are configured and set as the default.
Image, such as company logos, can also be added.
I added a Group Policy object as a logon script to run the following script to launch the Powershell script.
powershell.exe -executionpolicy bypass -windowstyle hidden -noninteractive -nologo -file "\\server\Share\OutlookSignature.ps1"The # Group Check section will look to see if the user is in the nominated group. If they are, the group email address will also be added to the signature. Good for use in areas such as Human Resources where a group email is typically used.
