+# outlook-sig-comply-ad
+
+Utility with a GUI interface that creates a user's Outlook signature by filling up a htm template with values obtained from an Active Directory serarch.
+
+The utility allows the technician to adjust or add to the values obtained from the search and saves the user's signature to a network location.
+
+Enforcing of the signature is done via an Active Directory group policy that runs the home/set-sig.vbs script at logon.
+
+The set-sig.vbs script copies the signature to the local computer and sets it as the default signature in Outlook.
