Deploying Skype in a Windows domain

Kurt over at the Skype Security Blog put up an interesting post discussing Skype's efforts thus far to give enterprise managers policy and security tools to control Skype usage on their networks. He's also asking for feedback on what else needs to be done.

Here's what I'm hearing:

• Centralized call detail records so that enterprises can track Skype usage
• Policy enforcement for Skype calls to control who can call who
• Centralized account management that would enable not only creation/deletion of accounts, but also routing of calls to accounts. For example, if jsmith leaves the company, I should be able to route their incoming Skype calls to another user.
• Support for security proxies to accomplish the above, and also to protect internal Skype users from external attack (think: FaceTime, IM Logic, Akonix style products for Skype.
