 Set objUser = CreateObject("WScript.Network")
userName = objUser.UserName
domainName = objUser.UserDomain

FUNCTION GetUserDN(BYVAL UN, BYVAL DN)
Set ObjTrans = CreateObject("NameTranslate")
objTrans.init 1, DN
objTrans.set 3, DN & "\" & UN
strUserDN = objTrans.Get(1)
GetUserDN = strUserDN
END FUNCTION

Set objLDAPUser = GetObject("LDAP://" & GetUserDN(userName,domainName))

'Prepare to create some files
Dim objFSO, objWsh, appDataPath, pathToCopyTo, plainTextFile,
plainTextFilePath, richTextFile, richTextFilePath, htmlFile,
htmlFilePath
Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set objWsh = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
appDataPath = objWsh.ExpandEnvironmentStrings("%APPDATA%")
pathToCopyTo = appDataPath & "\Microsoft\Signatures\"

'Let's create the plain text signature
plainTextFilePath = pathToCopyTo & "Default.txt"
Set plainTextFile = objFSO.CreateTextFile(plainTextFilePath, TRUE)
plainTextFile.WriteLine("-- ")
plainTextFile.WriteLine(objLDAPUser.DisplayName)
plainTextFile.WriteLine(objLDAPUser.title)
plainTextFile.WriteLine(objLDAPUser.company)
plainTextFile.WriteLine("t: " & objLDAPUser.telephoneNumber)
plainTextFile.WriteLine("f: " & objLDAPUser.facsimileTelephoneNumber)
plainTextFile.WriteLine("e: " & objLDAPUser.mail)
plainTextFile.Write("w: " & objLDAPUser.wWWHomePage)
plainTextFile.Close

'Now we create the Rich Text signature
richTextFilePath = pathToCopyTo & "Default.rtf"
Set richTextFile = objFSO.CreateTextFile(richTextFilePath, TRUE)
richTextFile.WriteLine("{\rtf1\ansi\ansicpg1252\deff0\deflang2057{\fonttbl{\f0\fswiss\fcharset0
Arial;}}")
richTextFile.WriteLine("\viewkind4\uc1\pard\f0\fs20 -- \par")
richTextFile.WriteLine(objLDAPUser.DisplayName & "\par")
richTextFile.WriteLine(objLDAPUser.title & "\par")
richTextFile.WriteLine(objLDAPUser.company & "\par")
richTextFile.WriteLine("t: " & objLDAPUser.telephoneNumber & "\par")
richTextFile.WriteLine("f: " & objLDAPUser.facsimileTelephoneNumber & "\par")
richTextFile.WriteLine("e: " & objLDAPUser.mail & "\par")
richTextFile.WriteLine("w: " & objLDAPUser.wWWHomePage & "\par")
richTextFile.Write("}")
richTextFile.Close

'And finally, the HTML signature
htmlFilePath = pathToCopyTo & "Default.htm"
Set htmlFile = objFSO.CreateTextFile(htmlFilePath, TRUE)
htmlfile.WriteLine("<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC ""-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0
Transitional//EN""
""http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"">")
htmlfile.WriteLine("<html xmlns=""http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"" >")
htmlfile.WriteLine("<body>")
htmlfile.WriteLine("<div style=""font-size:10pt;
font-family:'Arial','helvetica';"">")
htmlfile.WriteLine("<div>-- </div>")
htmlfile.WriteLine("<div>" & objLDAPUser.DisplayName & "</div>")
htmlfile.WriteLine("<div>" & objLDAPUser.title & "</div>")
htmlfile.WriteLine("<div>" & objLDAPUser.company & "</div>")
htmlfile.WriteLine("<div>t: " & objLDAPUser.telephoneNumber & "</div>")
htmlfile.WriteLine("<div>f: " & objLDAPUser.facsimileTelephoneNumber & "</div>")
htmlfile.WriteLine("<div>e: <a href="" & objLDAPUser.mail & "">" &
objLDAPUser.mail & "</a></div>")
htmlfile.WriteLine("<div>w: <a href=""http://" &
objLDAPUser.wWWHomePage & """>" & objLDAPUser.wWWHomePage &
"</a></div>")
htmlfile.WriteLine("</div>")
htmlfile.WriteLine("</body>")
htmlfile.Write("</html>")
