Explanation of why certain executable and DLL files are not digitally signed in the installation of Signature Manager
Abstract
Digitally signing executable and dll files verifies the publisher of the file and
assures users that files have not been tampered with. It also allows applications
to run properly in locked-down environments.
Certain executable files distributed as part of Signature Manager have not been
signed. This document explains the reason behind this and which files are affected.

Due to limitations outside of our control, when running on a server with no connection
to the internet (as is Best Practice for an Exchange 2007/2010 Hub Transport server),
signing these files results in errors when trying to start the application services.
