Just try
get name of signature 1
Does that work? You're sure there actually _is_ a signature 1?

10.1.6 is just a security release. I'll check to see if it works with
Entourage 2004.
But there's a way around it with 10.1.6: Exchange accounts, although they
have extra properties, are really implemented as IMAP accounts. Furthermore
(don't know if it was a bug or not) you can actually access them as IMAP
accounts by AppleScript. So try this: after you make the account without the
signature choice, see if you can then
set theAcct to IMAP account (gLastName & "'s Exchange Account")
set default signature choice of theAcct to signature 1
I _know_ you can set the default signature choice of an IMAP account just
fine (as with POP).
Enjoy this while you can. ;-) Entourage 2004's Exchange accounts are not
also IMAP accounts, and they have far, far fewer AppleScript properties (so
far). I will have an opportunity soon to see if I can create an Exchange
account in 2004, and will see if default signature choice now can be set.
