To me, disclaimers in Exchange are fun because we can use attributes from Active Directory to customize what is created. Below is an example of one of the disclaimers I have running in both Exchange 2013 and Office 365 via transport rules.
In this example of the disclaimer via HMTL text, I use the following user AD attributes to individualize the content. Keep in mind that each AD attribute that is used must be prepended and appended by two (2) percentage signs (%%).
- FisrtName
- LastName
- Title
- Department
- Company
- PhoneNumber
- CustomAttribute1-15; Added URL to the field in “CustomAttribute10” to reference company web page.
NOTE: The “CustomerAttribute1-15” attribute fields in the Exchange Management Console (Exchange 2007/2010) directly correlate to the “extensionAttribute1-15” attribute fields in the AD user objects.
