Deploy an update to Exclaimer Cloud Signature Update Agent using an existing Group Policy Object (GPO) – Exclaimer Cloud Knowledge Base

The Exclaimer Cloud Signature Update Agent allows you to synchronize signatures directly with the user's Outlook on both Windows and macOS, as well as Apple Mail.

If your subscription is configured with client-side signature rules, signatures can be synchronized to the users' local computers for Microsoft Outlook on Windows.

To synchronize signatures with the user's Outlook, the Exclaimer Cloud Signature Update Agent needs to be deployed to each user's computer.

We recommend! You deploy the Exclaimer Cloud Signature Update Agent via URL as this is the simplest method, and it ensures that the agent is always up to date.

But, if necessary, you can also deploy the Exclaimer Cloud Signature Update Agent via an MSI package.
