That's listed as the latest .adm, and it looks like they are still
supporting it! So as long as you are deploying Skype via GPO Soft.
Install, you should be good to go.

Is there a tool to determine whether or not a particular Skype install
is in super-node or not? *(other than checking bandwidth usage)* That
would really be the true test to see fi the policy is actually being
ignored by the client or not :)
