The Script its self is pretty rudimentary, Where objects are defined and then “typed” into the signature.
Remember you AD needs to be up to date as all the values are called from the fields in Active Directory. To install and use simply copy and paste the script and paste it into notepad save it as Signature.vbs then add it to your logon script “wscript \\server\SYSVOL\domain.local\scripts\signature.vbs” or add it to the logon/logoff fields in Group Policies if you need to remove a line simply comment it out with a ‘ that way if you need to use it again you dont have to search the earth for the correct wording.

Here are some of the additions to the script:

Insert another line – Chr(11)
Add an Image to the signature - objSelection.InlineShapes.AddPicture “\\server\signature.jpg”
Add Text - objSelection.TypeText “Message footer or Privacy Statement.”
