The PowerShell tab is available only on Windows Server 2008 R2. If you want to run a PowerShell script in 2003, you can call powershell.exe from a cmd-file. I.e. powershell.exe -File c:\scripts\myscript.ps1

I have a very silly problem here.. I think it’s my problem but I couldn’t find a solution for it so far. I’m using Win2k3 server with SP2 but I can not find the tab of “Powershell scripts” in the logon properties in GPO.
Can you please advise me what I’m missing?

thanks in advance,

I Changed

$path = $LocalSignaturePath+’\’+$CompanyName+”.txt”
$MSWord.ActiveDocument.SaveAs([ref] $path, [ref]$SaveFormat::wdFormatText)

To

$saveFormat = [Enum]::Parse([Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.WdSaveFormat], “wdFormatText”);
$path = $LocalSignaturePath+’\’+$CompanyName+”.txt”
$MSWord.ActiveDocument.SaveAs([ref] $path, [ref]$saveFormat)

now displays fine

I ran into this same problem on Windows XP Pro x64, and I discovered that I need to make sure to run the script using the x86 version of PowerShell for the script to execute using the office PIAs, since the PIAs are x86. Just a hint.

I had an earlier issue where I couldn’t get your script to work. It turned out that I had to install the 2003 Primary Interop Assemblies at your suggestion and that worked voor XP + Office 2003. I’m now testing your script for Windows 7 + Office 2003 and am not able to get it to work. I’ve installed the 2003 Primary Interop Assemblies to no avail. It works with Windows 7 + Office 2010 so just to be sure I installed the 2010 Primary Interop Assemblies to no avail. I get a lot of messages like this:

Exception calling “Open” with “1″ argument(s): “Er is een fout opgetreden tijdens het openen van het bestand.”
At C:\Temp\Outlook-Signatures\Sig-Standaard.ps1:137 char:23
+ $MSWord.Documents.Open <<<< ($fullPath)
+ CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [], MethodInvocationException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : ComMethodTargetInvocation

You cannot call a method on a null-valued expression.
At C:\Temp\Outlook-Signatures\Sig-Standaard.ps1:141 char:32
+ $MSWord.Selection.Find.Execute <<<< ($FindText, $MatchCase, $MatchWholeWord, $MatchWildcards, $MatchSoundsLike, $Mat
chAllWordForms, $Forward, $Wrap, $Format, $ReplaceText, $ReplaceAll )
+ CategoryInfo : InvalidOperation: (Execute:String) [], RuntimeException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : InvokeMethodOnNull

Do you have any suggestions?

Thnx Remco

http://blogs.nelite.com/blogs/yvarloud/archive/2011/06/18/lync-2010-amp-outlook-signatures.aspx
But I dont understand how it been created. Standard Lync facilities not provide this functionality (maybe I make mistake). With this script it’s possible, but without icons.
About photo it’s not quickly.

Thanks for the feedback. If you use Lync and Outlook 2010 the pictures stored in AD is automatically displayed on the clients. But you want the pictures inserted into the signature? I`m not quite sure how to do that, but in theory it should be possible. I`ll let you know if I figure how to do it. If you need to know quickly, try the PowerShell scripting forum on Microsoft TechNet :)
