Setting Company Wide Signature

[Jeff]

I was wondering if there was a way to add a custom signature to the bottom of
all outgoing emails in my company. We are using an Exchange 2000 server. I
know you can add a personal signature on an individual basis, but that would
be way too time consuming.

Any help would be great

Thanks

and tools for controlling disclaimers and other signatures from the Exchange
server.

Thanks for this useful link Sue, lots of great stuff on that site.

Our requirements (4500 users, with completely standard layout with some
variable substituion coming from AD) seem to be matched by various tools.
Some Outlook (i.e. client side) and some server side (either Exchange or
SMTP).

Do you or any other readers here have an recommendations?

TIA,
Hal.

If you don't want the user to be able to remove the signature, a server-side
tool would be required.

We were thinking about locking down using policy and using one of the client
side products but I think server side is certainly better in terms of ease of
deployment (to say the least!)

I guess I should mention that I'm trying to avoid adding new load to the
Exchange infrastructure as well as it is creaking a bit at the seams!

Thanks,
Hal.

My point is that you can't prevent a user from simply deleting signature
text that your choice of application inserts into their messages.

I think some of the client products actually hook the send event as an
outlook add-in and append the dynamically generated signature then but I do
appreciate your point.

BTW all the help and comments are much appreciated.
