ExSync.exe deployment is delayed when deployed via Group Policy logon script

Relevant Products: Signature Manager Outlook Edition

Scenario

You are using Exclaimer Signature Manager Outlook Edition and you notice that the ExSync.exe deployment is delayed when deployed via GPO.

Reason

When using Remote Desktop services in a Server 2012 R2 environment, by default login scripts deployed via GPO are delayed from executing by 5 minutes - this is to create a responsive desktop environment.
This could cause a delay for new users logging on for the first time from receiving an email signature or prevent existing users from receiving signatures updates during logon.

Resolution

To avoid this behaviour:

1. Configure the group policy setting as per below:
   
   Setting Path: Computer Configuration/Administrative Templates/System/Group Policy
   Setting Name: Configure Logon Script Delay
   Supported On: At least Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows 8.1 or Windows RT 8.1
   Setting: 0
   
   Changing the policy setting to 0 will disable the policy setting and the policy will run logon scripts immediately during logon.
