There are ways through Exchange group policy, what about the organizations that have hybrid systems? We have visited several companies that use their own login scripts and batch files to generate their branded corporate signatures. However there are always caveats to a home grown solutions, such as UNICODE compliance for world wide offices, additional imagary or qualification lines, different office addresses/contact details, etc to take into consideration.
This business critical issue is sometimes not given the time it deserves but you should consider that email from your staff will be seen by everyone (including clients and peers) so enforcing your email signature policy should probably be up there with the enforcement of your email policy.
I would recommend a relativley inexpensive tool allowing you to take control of your email signatures centrally whilst being flexible enough for for individuals to add their own "approved" touches.
The tool allows you to generate unicode compliant plain text, rtf and html signatures which can be managed centrally.
