@jonnydford - We have an AD environment, but I use "dscl" to pull the data, so it should work with OD as well. You may need to tweak it a bit depending on your environment. I haven't found a way to embed the images actually into the signature, so it relies on an external link.
#!/bin/sh
USERNAME=`stat -f%Su /dev/console`
FIRSTNAME=`dscl . -read "/Users/$USERNAME" FirstName | cut -d':' -f2 | xargs`
LASTNAME=`dscl . -read "/Users/$USERNAME" LastName | cut -d':' -f2 | xargs`
JOBTITLE=`dscl . -read "/Users/$USERNAME" JobTitle | cut -d':' -f2 | xargs`
PHONENUM=`dscl . -read "/Users/$USERNAME" PhoneNumber | cut -d':' -f2 | xargs`
EMAIL=`dscl . -read "/Users/$USERNAME" EMailAddress | cut -d':' -f2 | xargs`
if [[ $a != 9656* ]]; then
PHONENUM=`echo "9656 $PHONENUM"`
fi
PHONENUM=`echo "+61 3 $PHONENUM"`

What I do at the end is get Outlook to display the signature to the user to check for errors. We try to be diligent with our data entry, but sometimes bits are missing or incorrect in our AD. It produces something that looks like this:

@jwojda - My method is a bit of a scorched earth approach, but I find it works well. There's probably a better method, and I'm open to suggestions. Mine in particular relies on the presence of the MUD folder in the User Templates as it has some pre-configured bits, but you could tweak it as necessary. It's actually quite simple:
#!/bin/bash
USER=`stat -f%Su /dev/console`
if (ps aux | grep [M]icrosoft >/dev/null); then
a=$(osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to activate' -e 'tell application "System Events" to set question to display dialog "In order to continue, all Office applications will be closed. Are you sure you want to continue?" buttons {"Yes", "No"} default button 2 with icon caution' -e 'button returned of question')
if [ "$a" == "No" ]; then
exit 0
