Ours are generated through PowerShell on user logon using AD attributes via creating a Word document and using the Office API to save as HTML, RTF and TXT, putting the relevant files in the Outlook Signatures folder and programmatically having outlook set it as the default. The script itself I gathered from a few sources online and modified so it skips certain non-essential attributes and adapts formatting as necessary. I write values to registry to later compare along with file modify dates to make sure the signature is regenerated if a user alters it. If you go down this route I recommend using tables in your Word document template as I found them the easiest way to maintain layout and compatibility with RTF.
See below for the signature.

Its well documented. I typically set it up as a client-pull that takes place during the login script. The thing that prolly took the longest to refine was creating three styles of templates for rich-text, html, and plain-text signatures. https://www.google.com/search?q=deploy%20outlook%20signature -- Espi On Mon, May 4, 2015 at 1:34 PM, Binner, Lori <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: Management is thinking about standardizing our email signature block again. They do not want to completely lock things down (which I would think would be a group policy for the user's PCs/logins). At this time, they are not interested in purchasing a third-party program to insert signatures, because they want people to still be able to edit them in "exception" cases. I've been asked if there's any way to pre-populate everyone's signature block in Outlook with a template of sorts (where user can insert/change their name, title, etc.) which would also have a basic logo design included with it. * So, has anyone done this before (somehow pushed out a template or ? that populates everyone's Outlook signature block)? * The other question they are asking me, is if there's any possible way to block out the background of the logo area, so no one can edit/change it. I don't think that's possible, but I have to give them an answer. If anyone can offer any advice/insight, it would be greatly appreciated, as I have to provide Executive with answers, We are using Exchange 2010 SP3 RU2; Outlook 2010 & Outlook 2013.
