Added

• 'default graph config.ps1' now includes a description for each permission required by the Entra ID/Azure AD application for Graph access
• Additional documentation: Implementation approach
  • The content is based on real-life experiences implementing the script in multi-client environments with a five-digit number of mailboxes.
  • Proven procedures and recommendations for product managers, architects, operations managers, account managers, mail and client administrators. Suited for service providers as well as for clients.
  • It covers several general overview topics, administration, support, training across the whole lifecycle from counselling to tests, pilot operation and rollout up to daily business.
  • Available in English and German.
• New and improved sample code
  • SimulateAndDeploy.ps1: Deploy signatures without end user interaction, running Set-OutlookSignatures on a server - including support for roaming signatures
  • Test-ADTrust.ps1: Detect why a client cannot query Active Directory information
  • SimulationModeHelper.ps1: Makes using simulation mode easier. An admin sets the parameters in the script, the content creators execute it and just have to enter the values required for simulation:
    • The user to simulate (mandatory)
    • The mailbox(es) to simulate (optional)
    • The time to simulate (optional)
    • The output path (optional)
• A basic configuration user interface with grouped parameter sets, just run Show-Command .\Set-OutlookSignatures.ps1 in PowerShell.
• New parameter WordProcessPriority: Define the Word process priority. With lower values, Set-OutlookSignature runs longer but minimizes possible performance impact. See README for details.

Fixed

• On-prem only: Make sure that Active Directory attributes of the current user, the current mailbox and their managers are available in environments where not every domain controller is also a global catalog server
• Always connect to Entra ID/Azure AD/Graph when New Outlook is used
