Enterprise-wide Installation and Setting Policies

Skype recognizes the challenges that enterprises and other organizations face with respect

to managing sophisticated IT environments, as well as the complexity related to managing

all of the different software applications and hardware in use today.

Therefore, setting policies via Group Policy Objects and registry keys is now supported,

and MSI package installation is forthcoming as well.

Our goal is to enable system- and network administrators by making it easier and by

improving control over the enterprise-wide deployment and management of Skype.

Policies

The Skype client adheres to the precedence of managed settings in order of the following

priority:

1. HKLM Registry Keys (highest precedence)

2. HKCU Registry Keys

3. shared and config.xml Skype client settings

4. Skype client user preferences and defaults (lowest precedence)

Windows Registry

The Skype client has end user interface controls and/or functions for many of the features

over which an enterprise might want to control. Some of the more technical and network-

related features and configuration options are only accessible via the registry.

This is because enterprises who require such functionality generally have systems in place

for centrally managing users' registries, and registry access control to ensure that users

can't circumvent such settings.

XML Configuration Files

In addition to the Windows Registry, the Skype client relies on an XML file-based setup.

Administrators (and users with appropriate permissions) may open and edit these

configuration files even while Skype is running.

There are two XML files - shared and private. The shared file is named shared.xml and the

private file is called config.xml. Remember that XML file entries are case sensitive, so

"Debug" and "debug" are different.

See “Files, Folders, and Windows Registry Keys” above for the specific location on the

filesystem of these XML configuration files.

Note: Proper XML syntax and format (closing, opening tags, etc.) is required. Otherwise,

changes will not apply or the configuration will be lost if Skype is not running.
