Outlook Signature Script Error
We have a outlook signature script that runs every time a user logs on a computer. The script runs flawlessly unless it is their first time logging on the computer. If it is their first time the script gives an error (attached). Is there a way of creating the signature directory without running outlook? It looks like the script will fail unless the user has a outlook profile on the computer. This particuarly happens in meeting rooms where the user doesn't normally login. I also attached the script for reference.
Thanks!

Unfortunatly the modified script did not put any signatures in outlook when the profile was created.

Thank you for the help! With the help of ve3ofa and BlueDevilFan the script is now working as needed. We backed away from the Default part because some users were complaining but as for the error it no longer appears.
Unfortunatley, as you surmise, the registry won't contain the required keys until the user logs on and starts Outlook.
If you have a domain and central storage of some kind you could set up roaming profiles.
In this scenario, the "User" registry keys and potentially other specific folders are stored centrally and are applied to each machine that the user logs into.
Could be worth a look. :-)
Cheers!
