How to Install Skype domain-wide

  • 772

You know Live Messenger is over and we have to migrate to Skype. I got two choices to do that on 40+ computers under the domain.

  1. Give standard users permission to install software.
  2. Automatically/centrally install the software.

Can I do the 2nd choice and how?

  1. you can use Active Directory Software Distribution for this. The Skype Business Version is delivered with a MSI Package. There are .adm Extensions for configuring Skype via GPO available too.

    have a look at http://download.skype.com/share/business/guides/skype-it-administrators-guide.pdf

  2. You will need to download the msi Installer and deploy it by GroupPolicy. You can set the permission by setting it up as Computer Policy.
