Hi Kenia,

Great to hear you got it working!!!!!
I have’t had a good look at this script for a while, but I think there maybe be a way to do this, but it would require significate changes to the script… the things that I can see after a very quick look would be

objShell.RegWrite RegKey , “AD_xxxxx”
objShell.RegWrite RegKey07 , “AD_xxxxx”
objShell.RegWrite RegKey10 , “AD_xxxxx”
UserDataPath = ObjShell.ExpandEnvironmentStrings(“%appdata%”)
FolderLocation = UserDataPath &”\Microsoft\AD_xxxxxxx\”
HTMFileString = FolderLocation & “xxxxxxx.htm”

Would more than likely have to change

You would need to create a new HTML section and have this referenced to the above, and some components below… I would love to try and get this added as extra functionality… but time has been very tight for the last few months unfortunately, So in this instance I would say give it ago yourself, but if you come unstuck you may be better off just having 2 of these scripts, called by 1 batch file, but remove this section from the one that you DONT want the default profile to be set as:
Call SetDefaultSignature(“xxxxx”,”")

‘ Use this version (and comment the other) to
‘ modify a named profile.
‘Call SetDefaultSignature _
‘ (“Signature Name”, “Profile Name”)

Sub SetDefaultSignature(strSigName, strProfile)
Const HKEY_CURRENT_USER = &H80000001
strComputer = “.”

Thanks for the info, changing the folder in IIS to an application was the key I had been missing.

I’m not running DFS on the Exchange 2010 server. It’s running Windows 2008 R2 and Exchange only. That’s it.

Hi Ken,
I am running Exchange 2007 unfortunately, however it sounds like you are running a DFS or alike on the server is this the case?

Brad, your notes have been a big help to me. I was able to locate that the folders below Client Access\OAB do not allow SYSTEM full control on the subfolders. If I add it manually, I’m able to see the LZX files get copied over when I restart the File Distribution service. However, within a few minutes, the SYSTEM rights get cleared by some process. The Client Access\OAB folder does have the correct permissions, but the subfolders will not hold these settings.

I’m running Exchange 2010 with Update4.

Thanks for any suggestions that you may have.
