Outlook (2003) signatures

[ad]

Hello - I'm trying to prevent users from editing the corporate signature. I
have disabled the "Options" menu choice (by using command ID 522 in group
policy, but this doesn't prevent them from (sometimes) manually editing the
signature with new (or reply) e-mails they send.

Is there a way to make the entire signature block (an *.htm file) read only,
and also unable to be deleted/replaced within the message itself. Having it
editable appears to defeat the purpose somewhat..

I look forward to your suggestions,

Many thanks,

Ashley

Sounds like locking down the machines is not the answer.

Perhaps a directive from Corporate Human Resources with teeth behind it
would be a more productive solution?

This is a journo - they do what they want to do or go out on strike!

Any other suggestions?

Thanks,

What is a "journo"?

Sounds like you need to get HR on the situation with real remedies for
failure to comply.

Journo is short for journalist (reporter/editor/sub-editor)

In Australia, they all belong to a powerful union (MEAA), and can do
basically what they want!
