Our company marketing exec. has designed a "corporate logo" signature for all staff. I'm trying to find a way to distribute it to everyone in the organization.
I can get the html file into everyone's Microsoft/signatures folder and have them edit a generic signature with their own name and phone extension, etc.

The problem is that the signature has an email address link that is one of the "corporate colors" rather than the standard "mailto://" link color, blue.

As soon as a user edits the signature, it looses the custome color and reverts back to blue. Even if they don't edit the email address. Just touching the file in Outlook's signature editor breaks the custom color.

I have been editing the html file by hand in notepad and installing it and it works fine.

What I need is a script or some method to take user input, like a batch file or something, to edit the html file with the user's input and save it into the appropriate folder.

I'm sorry, I know this is probably the silliest thing you've heard, but the boss wants everybody (several hundred employees) to have the same Outlook signature.

Thanks for any suggestions.
 
Hmmm, well, thanks, but, with 600 users, that solution would cost me $2000.00. I think I'll just figure out how to do it with a batch file.
