As Microsoft have purchased Skype and are going to be integrating it with their product line I think you'll be better looking at Lync IMHO....
http://lync.microsoft.com Regards Tobie From: pierre.camill...@fosterclark.com [mailto:pierre.camill...@fosterclark.com] Sent: 24 November 2011 11:58 To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Using Skype in a corporate environment Hi all Our director is very interested in introducing Skype in certain departments since most of our clients/suppliers use Skype already. However I am somewhat concerned about the following issues: 1. Lack of administration facilities such as locking down/disabling certain Skype functions. I know that Windows 2008 group policy administrative templates exist but read somewhere that these might not be compatible with future newer versions of Skype. In fact Skype no longer supplies such templates. 2. Network bandwidth hogging. How serious an issue is this? Each workstation is connected via a 100 MB link to our core switch. Our Internet broadband link speed is 4 Mbps for download and upload connections. 3. Security issues. How serious are these? Has anyone deployed and using Skype within a corporate environment? Any issues encountered? Things to watch out for?
