sparkie sparkie Getting the hang of it Registered: 2010-09-14 Posts: 92 Loc: UK	I've been playing around with the Outlook Signature in the vault to pull in the AD Telephone Number. Is there any way to change it to International using code. E.g. 01111 111111 to +44 1111 111111 Thanks

We've deployed the v1.7 release to a company with 6 templates and about 30 unique signature configurations, based on OU or AD Group. No changes to coding or anything. The 6 templates represent 5 different divisions within the company, plus a unique template for management. Glenn _________________________ Actually I am a Rocket Scientist! $\:D$

Since it might not always be myself that needs to modify, I'm still evaluating other types and what can be acheived. Mark

Glenn Barnas Glenn Barnas KiX Supporter Registered: 2003-01-28 Posts: 4403 Loc: New Jersey	FYI - The version we offer has a GUI management interface. When we deploy this to clients, we customize the templates if necessary and then turn the app over to the person that will administer it. Generally, this is NOT a systems admin or even a "technical person", but often an executive staff admin. This allows management of signatures by OU, Group, or other method by selecting an AD object, then associating it with a signature template and an image. Users can update their sig at any time by simply browsing to the network folder and double-clicking a bat file. The same bat file can be called from the login script (or the underlying Kix script called directly). If you can differentiate the UK and "Other" users via any AD method (OU, Group, or list of specific users) then you can assign specific templates for each. The vault version is mostly the same, but lacks one or two minor features and does not have the management tools. Glenn _________________________ Actually I am a Rocket Scientist! $\:D$

sparkie sparkie Getting the hang of it Registered: 2010-09-14 Posts: 92 Loc: UK	Ok, back on this. I've been looking at the replace string and wondering if I can use it to amend the number pulled in by $strphone. $master = 01111 $new = +44 1111 $replace $master with $new Then plant new into signature using objselection

Mart Mart KiX Supporter Registered: 2002-03-27 Posts: 4673 Loc: The Netherlands	Modifying the number is not that difficult. Code: $master = 01111 $new = "+44 " + SubStr($master, 2) If you use $new in the script that creates the signature you have the new value in the signature. _________________________ Mart - Chuck Norris once sold ebay to ebay on ebay.
