How to roll out a HTML email signature template to all users?

mutley59 · Post by **mutley59** » Thu Mar 28, 2013 7:01 am

Greetings. We are about to rebrand our company and need to change all signatures . All clients use outlook 2007. Does anyone know of a way to roll out a HTML email signature template to all users? We have a template /files but no easy way to deploy to users without individually creating signatures in the web interface or logging on to outlook 2007 and creating them there.. Very time consuming.
thanks Rick

Hi,
you just have to set the attribute 'zimbraPrefMailSignatureHTML' with the HTML content of your sig for all users.
e.g:

zmprov ma user@domain zimbraPrefMailSignatureHTML 'I am a signature'

hth,

Walter

I have been editing signatures per user with the zmprov ma user@domain zimbraPrefMailSignatureHTML command since there is no longer a upload image from URL button in ZCS8. As for rolling it out to all users, I don't think this will work as it's per account. Even if you could do one command for all your users, you will still need to edit their names, numbers, etc in their signature.

HI, we have now created a signature complete with graphics able to be rolled out by CLI. However outlook 2007 will not worked with these signatures.. 2nd option was to host the graphics on a webserver which we will now do. The whole process will be by CLI. thanks for your help

We have now completed our rollout of signatures by CLI and will continue to update monthly or so via the same method. All user details are stored in an excel s/sheet which is then exported to CSV. The signature is created, deployed and assigned to the account by CLI with no manual intervention involved. We do not need to edit their signature via the web interface.. Great result

Sounds great, would you share your code with us?

we used a powershell script to generate the signatures on the users login based on AD details. it runs everytime they log in and as its via GPO,we can create different signatures for different groups!

Great Stuff

Any chance of getting a template of what you have running? I would like this sort of setup...
