How to configure permissions to update Outlook Web Access signatures and settings

Relevant Products: Signature Manager Outlook Edition

You wish to update Microsoft® Outlook Web Access (OWA) signatures & settings from the server. By default, Exclaimer Signature Manager updates the OWA signatures & settings from each client desktop computer using ExSync.exe. This 'server' method of signature deployment can be used if you have users who access their email only by OWA and rarely log on to your domain. Specific permissions are required for the user account used to update the signatures & settings. This also applies to Office 365.

Description

The permissions required vary depending on the version of Microsoft® Exchange your mailbox server is using:

• Exchange 2007 and Small Business Server 2008
