Hey Everyone,
We can see from here, that new exciting feature is about to be rolled out:
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/roadmap?filters=&searchterms=signature
Great timing as our company is in the middle of preparing/releasing signature mechanism, question is: how it will look like as there is not much information I can find.
Currently there is one signature available in OWA, and the roadmap's tag says "Windows Desktop Outlook" and I do not get it - will all of my Outlook signatures be sinchronized to OWA? Will all my signatures configured on the server side (OWA) be visible in Outlook - so the sync will be in the other way around as well? This feature would greatly ease this particular task, as there would be no need of pushing signatures to each workstations etc. but I would like to know more about the mechanism itself, readmap says June, but as we all know date might be floating, so maybe there is no reason for us to wait and implement our mechanism. Is here someone who is in contacts with the product team and can give some heads up / sneak peak on this feature? Maybe @Julia Foran ? :)

Is this the slowest roll out ever?

It's out, and guess what, it's only half cooked. You only get your standard signature synced and the rest stays on your local computer, and what is even worse, you can't select the other local signatures in Outlook anymore. I just can't get my head around why it is so hard to just sync all of the local signatures into the cloud, or if for some reason not possible, why can't I still select the local signatures in Outlook. Do all the people in charge at Microsoft only have one signature in their Outlook to choose from?
So whats left to do? Deactivate the feature. Here is the Microsoft article in how to do it:
Outlook-Roamingsignaturen - Microsoft-Support
Kind Regards

I have following issue:
We have 5 users with their own mailbox in the outlook app. They also share a mailbox. Before this roll out they were able to send mail with their own specific signature from that shared mailbox. Probably because it was locally stored. Now it seems I can only assign one signature to this shared mailbox. Other users see the signature of the user who last assigned his/her signature to this mailbox. Very annoying. Do you have any idea how to fix this? Disable this feature on all PC's from users who are impacted?
Kind regards,

I rolled it out for all of our users with help of our logon script, as we all have more than one signature.
But I suppose you could just create a new OU in "Active directory Users and Computer", move the affected users in it, and apply a new Group Policy to this new OU, which will simply start a script changing the registry key.
Here is what I did:
- I changed the registry entry on my computer and exported the key in a .reg file, deleting all the other entries but the "DisableRoamingSignatures" entry.
- Then I copied the file into the netlogon folder on the Domain Controller
- afterwards I added following line in our logon script: reg import %logonserver%\netlogon\Outlookkey.reg wheras you replace "Outlookkey.reg" with what ever you named the exported .reg key.
and done. Next time one of your user logs in, all the Signatures in Outlook will be available again, unfortunately plus the ones that got already synced into the cloud. They will show up as new Signatures as well and can just be deleted.
Cheers Chris
