What is the quickets/simplest/least painful way to distribute out a simple
additional button that calls a macro to 200+ users running Outlook 2003?

Environment:
a) Macro is small piece of code that class custom form that all users can
run.
b) Button calls macro so users dont have to serach for form in form library.
c) Macro is signed
d) We are running AD in native mode and make extensive use of GPOs.

Is there anyway to send out the button/macro combination so it appears on
every users Outlook menu bar through a GPO? Is there anyway to autmatically
add the signature of the code signer to the trusted macro sources in OL2003
via a GPO? I know we can add trusted root certs via a GPO but I dont know
whether there is any way to do it for VBA?

Any suggestions to minimise the user impact?

No, you can't do any of that with GPO. The right way to distribute such
functionality is with a COM addin, which you should be able to install with
a GPO.
