Removing Email Signature Manager following migration to Signature 365

Scenario

You have recently migrated from Email Signature Manager to Signature 365, and wish to remove the Email Signature Manager components from your devices.

Solution

The information below details how to remove the SIS injection service, Signagent, and the Email Signature Manager server from your network.

SIS Injection Service

This process must be completed in the Exchange admin center, the steps below will detail how to complete this process.

1. Log on to the Exchange admin center
2. Select Mail flow and then Rules from the menu

   
   

3. Select the Send to Symprex Signature Injection Service rule, and select the Delete option

   
   

   
   

4. Select the Connectors menu option
5. Select the Send to Symprex Signature Injection Service and Receive from Symprex Signature Injection Service connectors individually, and select the Delete option for each

   
   

This completes the process of removing the SIS connectors and rules from your Exchange Online tenant.

ESM Agent

Signagent should ideally be removed from your client devices before the Email Signature Manager server is uninstalled.

If you wish to remove local Outlook signatures deployed by the ESM server, you should ensure the "Remove all signatures other than those specifically deployed" is selected from Configuration -> Deployment Options.

Following this, please use the Manage Deployment option in Email Signature Manager, and remove all deployments from all Users and Groups.

As the last step, complete a full update cycle using the Update All button, this will ensure that all deployed signatures are removed from devices on the next Signagent update cycle.

The agent can also be removed using the information in the following article: Uninstalling the Email Signature Manager agent programmatically.

If you have already removed Signagent from your devices, you can use the information in the following article to remove all local Outlook signatures: Managing personal signatures, fonts and stationary for Outlook desktop.
