Using a group policy object to disable signatures in Microsoft Outlook

Use Group Policy to disable Outlook signatures and prevent users creating their own signatures alongside Signature 365.

Use Group Policy on Windows to disable Outlook's built-in signature feature when you want Signature 365 to be the only signature solution available to users.

This approach applies to Classic Outlook on Windows Server 2012 R2 and later. If you also need to remove existing local signatures or manage fonts and stationery, use Managing personal signatures, fonts and stationery for Outlook Classic desktop.

Note
This solution is for Windows Server 2012R2 and later versions.

Use the Symprex Email Signature Utility to disable Outlook signatures and remove existing local signatures that were created by users or another solution. For the download location and command-line options, see Managing personal signatures, fonts and stationery for Outlook Classic desktop.

If you also need to disable signatures in New Outlook or Outlook on the web, follow Disabling Outlook signatures in New Outlook and OWA.
