Relevant Product: Exclaimer Cloud - Signatures for Exchange

This article guides you through the process of configuring your Exclaimer Cloud - Signatures for Office 365 subscription, for On-Premises Exchange Server deployment ONLY (so signatures are applied to all email messages via Exclaimer's Cloud service, irrespective of which browser/device/email client is used).

Note: For alternative configuration options,  please see Setup Overview for Office 365.


Running the setup wizard

To complete the setup described below, you will need:
Office 365 Global Administrator credentials

This wizard walks you through the steps required to grant permission for Exclaimer Cloud to read user data from your Azure AD/Office 365 directory (and maintain a replica in an Exclaimer Cloud database).

To run the setup wizard, follow the steps below:

  1. Once you have set up your subscription and launched Exclaimer Cloud, you can choose to Connect to your email system or Try the Signature Designer:



    Note: Even if you select Try the Signature Designer option, the Connect to your email system option will always be available when you launch the product.
  2. Select Connect to your email system then click Next to choose the features that you wish to configure.

  3. Select Apply to email from all devices including mobiles, then select Setup for On-Premises Exchange Server:
    Note: The Setup for On-Premises Exchange Server option is configured for server-side deployment.



  4. Click Next to view a summary of tasks that will be completed during this setup:



  5. Click Next to grant permission for Exclaimer Cloud to read your Azure AD/Office 365 data.

  6. Enter the domain name for your Azure AD/Office 365 then click Next.
    Note: If you're not sure what your domain name should be, see Where can I find my Microsoft Tenant ID?



  7. You are prompted to sign in to Azure AD as a Global Administrator (be sure that you are entering the credentials for the correct Azure AD tenant):



  8. Once authenticated, you are prompted to accept a permissions request for the Exclaimer Cloud Signatures for Office 365 app, click Accept: 
    Note: The Exclaimer Cloud Signatures for Office 365 app requires permission to sign in and read user data in order to perform data synchronisation.



  9. Having confirmed these details and granted the required permissions, you are directed back to Exclaimer's setup wizard, where you'll see a confirmation that you have successfully granted permission for Exclaimer Cloud to read your Azure AD directory data:



  10. Click Next to synchronize the data.

  11. Once the data is synchronized, confirmation is displayed:



  12. Click Next to access the Home page.

    - You can now create your first email signature in Exclaimer Cloud.

    - Once your email signature has been created, the server-side options (within Signature Rules) will be automatically enabled.

    - To utilize all benefits of the full Exclaimer Cloud solution (such as the template designer on a friendly web-based user interface) for all users, without migrating them from their On-Premises Exchange environment into Cloud, you need to install the Exclaimer Exchange Transport Agent on all Exchange servers.
