Deploying via a logon script

This method of deployment is useful if you already have a logon script, or if you wish to deploy Exclaimer Signature Manager Outlook Edition signatures to a select number of users for test purposes. For clarity, this process has been documented in three stages:

Stage 1: Create new or update existing logon.bat

If you do not already have a logon.bat file, you should create one now. To do this:

  1. Open Windows Notepad.

  2. Create a file named logon.bat.

  3. Enter the full UNC path to ExSync, for example: \\Server\Share\exsync.exe.

  4. Save the logon.bat file.

  5. Copy the logon.bat file to your shared NETLOGON folder.

If you already have a logon.bat file, simply add the full UNC path to ExSync to it (for example: \\Server\Share\exsync.exe) and save it to your shared NETLOGON folder.

Stage 2: Set logon.bat as the logon script for required users

If required, you can set logon.bat as the login script for each Active Directory user.  To do this:

  1. Open Microsoft's Active Directory management tool, Active Directory Users and Computers.

  2. Locate the required user (in the directory structure).

  3. Double-click the user name, or right-click and select properties:

    AD properties
  4. Select the appropriate tab, in this case profile.

  5. Enter logon.bat into the logon script attribute and click OK.

Stage 3: Ask users to log out and log back in

Ensure that your users log off and log back on at least once to activate the new login script.
