The administrative template le doesn’t actually apply policy settings, but lets you see

them in the GPO Editor. From there, you can create GPOs with the policy settings you

want.

For a complete list of the policies you can change, please see Appendix 1: Configurable

policies.

2.4.3 XML configuration files

The Skype client uses an XML le-based setup. The Mac OS X doesn’t have an equivalent

to GPOs, so if you’re Mac computer-based, you’ll need to edit the XML les.

When Skype is installed, it creates two XML les that describe the Skype client:

Shared.xml (in \Application Data\Skype) denes the enabled features for all

instances of Skype on a given machine.

Cong.xml (in \Application Data\Skype\SkypeName (where SkypeName is the

name of the user’s Skype login) denes the enabled features for a specic

instance of Skype enabled on a given machine.

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

even while Skype is running. In general, Windows network administrators should not

make changes to the XML les as this can be done via GPOs.

Note:

XML le entries are case sensitive and proper XML syntax is required, otherwise changes

will not apply or the conguration will be lost if Skype is not running.

2.4.4 Client-side settings

Administrators (and users with appropriate permissions) can also change Skype’s

performance and functionality from within the Skype client. The Privacy settings screen

controls:

Who can call or IM a user

Automatic video reception

Chat history duration

Online Status publishing

Cookie policies

You can congure the privacy setting options via the Skype client by opening Skype and

going to Tools > Options > Privacy Settings.
