Outlook Signatures 1

[UKmedia]

Hey All,

I have created a little script that will talk to AD and get certain user information and then generate a htm file and write a few registry keys to store that signature. It is used as part of a login script for all users.

My Problem is we have outlook 2000 & 2003 clients out there and this only works for 2003 at the moment. What I want to do is write a routin that will check the version and then enter in the correct reg keys and create either .htm or .rtf

Outlook 2003 reads .htm for signatures
Outlook 2000 reads .rtf for signatures

I need help on how to find out the version of outlook?

If anyone knows of a scripts out there that already do this please forward them to me, I will share this script once I have finshed as it saves paying crap loads to install some software on Exchange to automatically do this.

have a look athe Win32 WMI classes, there is a class for Installed SOftware, this should list what you have and you can pull the info out.

quick and dirty would be check for outlook.exe and determine its version...i would go with the WMI query i think

Even more quick and dirty, check where outlook.exe is...

c:\Program files\Microsoft Office\Office11\outlook.exe = 2003

I think that Office9 = 2000
and Office10 = XP/2002
