When the "Signature for new messages" is set to a signature it will
not stay set. It reverts back to none. It usually takes a day or so
for it to revert back to none. Any ideas?

are the signatures stored on the local machine? If they are on a network
drive, it will revert to none if the location is not available.

Hi Diane, thanks for the response. That was a good idea, but i have checked
the location for an affected user and the sig is sitting in c:\documents and
settings\username\application data\microsoft\signatures\signaturename.html
(which i assume is the default location) Having said that this user has a
laptop and has a roaming profile. Could this setting possibly be reset from
him trying to open outlook when exchange server is unavailable?

Does the user have outlook set to cached mode? I don't think roaming profile
with do it, since the profile is cached locally, but it could be a
combination of the roaming profile and exchange unavailable.

We are having this same issue all of a sudden. We have users load balanced
between 3 Citrix presentation servers and have just now started having this
issue when users move between 2 of the servers from day to day. Any idea yet
as to what is causing this?
