Added the new features
  • Removal of web service – Version 2 of Signature Manager has the signature generation and deployment decoupled. Signature generation is done on save of the configuration at the console as opposed to on demand from the client’s ExSync. The signature is then deployed via file read-write operation. Therefore the deployment process is much quicker compared to the web service in version 1. This provides for greater scalability and a greater number of simultaneous requests.
  • Template Library – The Gallery feature has been superseded by the Template Library. The Template Library allows greater control for organising, managing and previewing templates.
  • Add campaigns to this signature – Allows greater control over when campaigns will be applied to signature policies. For example, you can now have a signature that contains a campaign for new messages and a different signature that does not contain a campaign for replies and forwards.
  • Add disclaimers to this signature - Allows greater control over when disclaimers will be applied to signature policies. For example, you can now have a signature that contains a disclaimer for new messages and a different signature that does not contain a disclaimer for replies and forwards.
  • Cloning a policy now clones the template
  • Advanced scheduling in policy date range – Allows greater control over when policies will be applied.
  • Automatic Configuration backup – This allows you to retrieve a previous copy of your configuration if any issues occur.
  • Policy Tester – Provides a visual output of the order of policies applied
  • Campaign and Disclaimer deployment options – Allows you select if campaigns and disclaimers will be deployed to Microsoft Outlook, Microsoft Outlook Web Access or both.
  • Signature Manager now provides the logic to prevent applying Campaigns to OWA signatures.
  • Support for Outlook 2010 x86 and x64
