Hi Robert,

There is no built-in policy setting for this purpose, so we cannot do this using the Office .ADMX templates. However, by editing the related registry key, this is achievable via Group Policy.

Signatures are stored in the roaming section of the windows profile, under %appdata%\microsoft\signatures. And the Signature assignments are in the registry at:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\xx.0\Common\MailSettings\ (where xx = your version of Office)

You can push signature files into this folder for each user using a simple script, and use "Group Policy Preference" to deploy the registry key. The script that push the signature files can also be integrated into Group Policy.

Hope this helps.
