Hi,

All my users have their email signature located in a single shared folder on a server eg \\server\emailsigs
I need to move them to a new server and as such need to update everyones link to their signature. I can't see any way of doing this without manually getting on each users PC and updating. Anyone know of a quick solution?

Cheers
 
So you hard-coded the server and dbname ? Unfortunate.
I suggest you modify the code to look in a profile document instead. The profile document should contain the server name and db name as values. The next time the db moves, all you will need is to update the profile document.
The profile document can be located in the NAB, or in the person's mail file itself. Since the mail file is on the server, you can write a script to update it overnight.
Unfortunately, this time around you'll probably have to do it all manually.

Thanks for your help. This is how it was setup prior to me being here. Typical of so many things I've come across in this company though.
 
I sympathize with your plight, I've been there too.

Pascal.
