How can I set one global signature for all 70 outlook users?

I am SysAdmin for a company with 70 users, and we are still using a Windows
Server 2000 environment with Outlook 2000 -- I would like to add a
confidentiality agreement as a default global signature for all users, as
opposed to logging in to all 70 accounts and setting the signatures
individually. The signature is saved as an .rtf file and stored on a shared,
network folder. Is there a way to set this signature globally using 2k?

Don't use a decentralized solution for something you want to manage
centralized. Configure it on the Exchange server instead of on the client.
One method is described here;
