I have an MSI package that need to be installed company wide. I also have command line switches that i need to specify so that it installs silently plus some other things. The problem i'm facing now is after i created a 'Software Package' in GPO, it doesn't provide for a way to specify the switches. I was expecting it would be like in task. Well this is most of the time easy but useful when need and you can't remind the command you have to use to add a static route in a Mac OS X installation. Open fist the terminal session. Use the following command: sudo route -n add x.x.x.x/24 x.x.x.x.

List of command line parameters in the new Skype
Parameter | Description |
---|---|
--datapath='path' | Changes the folder where the user data is stored (by default, Skype stores them in %APPDATA%MicrosoftSkype for Desktop ). If path does not exist, Skype creates all the necessary folders. |
--lang=ISO-639 | Force Skype to use the specified locale. For example, use --lang=en-GB for British English, even if the OS has a different language or datetime format. |
--secondary | Launches several instances of Skype at the same time. To run multiple accounts, you must specify the parameter --datapath |
--shutdown | Closes Skype processes, started without the parameter --secondary |
--_='URI scheme' | Launches Skype using parameters of the URI scheme skype: (for example, if you pass --_='skype:echo123?call&video=true' , Skype will make a video call to the echo123 service). |
In addition to these, there are several other parameters, but I am not sure yet what they are intended for. Some of these parameters are given below:
--application-name
--auto-start
--migration
Since the new Skype is developed on the basis of the Electron framework, users can use more than 1200 parameters that are available for Chromium. A complete list of these parameters can be found here: https://peter.sh/experiments/chromium-command-line-switches/

How to run more than one account at a time?
For example, create a new shortcut for each account and specify the following path:C:Program Files (x86)MicrosoftSkype for DesktopSkype.exe --secondary --datapath='F:SkypeNewLogin_1'
For a more convenient way, read How to run multiple Skype programs simultaneously or How to create a portable Skype for Windows.
The article clearly does not contain all the information about the parameters in the new Skype, so I will periodically update the material. Also, I will be grateful for any comments and additions.
There are a few Skype command line switches documented on the Skype support site:

However, it seems that the list isn’t complete. From a post on the Skype community site (the post doesn’t seem to be available any more) I found the following additions:
Skype Command Line Switches For Macos Update
This will start Skype with the specified account name and password:
'C:Program FilesSkypePhoneSkype.exe' /username:your user name /password:your password
This will start a “portable” Skype installed at “path to skype.exe” with all data being saved in the “Data” folder:
'path to skype.exeSkype.exe' /datapath:”Data” /removable
