Will there be a Skype for Business standalone non click to run installer made available tomorrow?

I would like to know where I will be able to download a non click to run version of Skype for Business when it is released tomorrow. I need the normal installer because I need to turn off the feature, 'Microsoft Sharepoint Foundation Support' as it breaks
Outlook in Office 2007.
Thanks!

Hi Buck614,
As Anthony stated, it is a patch to Lync 2013 client.
A few notes and the related KB for your reference. (Both updates are cumulative and contain all previously released fixes for Lync 2013.)
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2889923
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2889853
Notes:
You must install both patches on a minimum build of
15.0.4569.1506 (SP1).
After you apply this April 14, 2015 update, Lync 2013 will be upgraded to Skype for Business. Info about the new
experience in Skype for Business.
For your customers information: You can still use the Lync client user interface after you apply this update for Skype for Business. Here is info on how to switch between the Skype
for Business and the Lync client user interfaces for
Office 365 users and
Lync Server 2013 users.
Best regards,
Eric

Is there a new Version of Skype for Business?

Hi,
I'm using Version 5.0.32.152 of what I think is Skype for Business. It's an approved version of the Windows Desktop program for my workplace, but I can't login using the Microsoft account I created based on my work e-mail. I only have the option to login using my Skype Name (but I don't know what it is).
Is there an updated version for the Windows Desktop? I've spoken to my IT support team, but they suggested I reach out to the Skype Community about user names and account login details.
This is the start-up screen I see, and it isn' the same as the new look Skype for personal use.
Thanks for your help...Jonathan
Solved!
Go to Solution.

The latest Skype version is 6.14.0.104
http://download.skype.com/msi/SkypeSetup_6.14.0.104.msi
The corresponding business version is 6.14.32.0.104
http://www.skype.com/go/getskype-msi
The only difference between the "normal" and the business version is that the business version does not contain options for integrating with Facebook and Skype Updater service is not installed.

Has anyone seen any issues with persistent Chat in the Skype for Business Technical Preview client? No Messages dispalyed.

Hi all,
We are testing out the new Skype for Business technical preview client
with Lync 2013 and although we're not really users of Persistent Chat, I wanted to install this feature too so I added a server pool just to check things out.
I can post and even search the history (which shows results), but apart from seeing my immediate post, when I close the room a re-enter I see nothing. I get a notifications that there are new posts, but clicking "Read" button also does nothing.
We're off for Easter and I wont have access to another Lync 2013 client until we return, so I'm not sure if there is just something odd with my installation.
I would be interesting to see if other are having this issue.
Cheers
Chris

Skype For Business SDK

Is there a plan to develop a REST API for Skype for Business Online? I've been trying to search through MSDN as well as the Office roadmap but can't really find a clear answer. I know the current Lync SDK's will still work with Skype, but this is only
for on premise Lync servers.

Hi McArthur5,
Since this form is discussing about developing apps for Office, and your issue is more related with Skype and Lync, I will move this thread to the more related forum.

Skype for Business Android client (feature request)

Hi, I assume that the Mobile version of Skype for Business client is due out soon to replace Lync 2013 client, one thing i really wish would be added is the ability to send files to mobile clients. Surely this isnt a big technical problem as the Windows clients already do this so surely this could be added to the mobile clients. Having this feature would really make life so much better for our small business as we could send out documents to our engineers instead of emailing them. Doing this via S4B would immediately notify the engineers of the msg and then it would allow quick and easy 2 way msging between the office and engineers. I really cant see why this feature wasnt in Lync 2013? Also is there any news of an ETA for Skype for business mobile clients? Thanks JK

Hi,
I have recorded this request and thank you for your advice. Currently I can't guarantee this will be added, but please be assured that any improvements in the product are based on users' requirements. Our developers strive to capture Microsoft users' ideas
and are working hard to create a more powerful and easy-to-use product.

Skype for Business groups

My company uses Office 365 and Skype for Business. We have several Groups defined in Exchange. We can add those groups to Skype, but when the groups are updated as a result of turnover, those changes we do in the Exchange group do not flow down to the group I added in Skype. Is there a way to automatically update the groups in Skype as we make the change in Exchange? Thank you.

Skype for Business client not responding after audio/video/screen sharing

Hi Everyone,
I have a strange situation in my organisation. We have more than 200 clients and we are using Lync 2013. When Skype for Business (SFB) came out I tested it and found one problem - every time when I trying to make a audio or video call or what ever kind of
file sharing or screen sharing then SFB client will hang and have error "SFB not responding". I can click restart the client and close button. So it´s not possible to call or share anything with that. Specially bad is that is eferyone else is calling
to me it cause the same problem - client will die. So it´s very easy to kill my client :) At the beginning I thought that it´s my computer problem but then it turned out that allmost all clients have the same problem. Computers are different kind of Lenovo
laptops.
What can cause the problem? I have installed and reinstalled the client. I have updated all the drivers. I have removed Personal Skype to make sure that it won´t cause the problem but problem is still there. Server itself is updated with latest CU and Skype
for Business UI is enabled as default UI.
Br,
Taavi

Hi,
Please try to uninstall the default Sound Card, VGA Device/Video Card, Graphic Card, and use the default system driver to test the issue. Because sometimes update driver to the latest version doesn't work but only use the default system.
Please also make sure OS system update to the latest version.

Skype for Business not updating icons on start menu - Using OCT for Lync 2013 deployment

We're currently deploying Lync 2013 to out fleet using the OCT to customize where the shortcuts are created.
What we are finding is that the Skype for Business Patch does not update these icons. It only updates the icons if they are in the default location (no OCT).
Is there a standalone Installer for Skype for Business we could apply a TRANSFORM to? Or some other method of updating all icons startmenu, taskbar etc.
Thanks

Hi Alan Dooley,
Have you tried to create a new desktop shortcut ?
In addition, you can try to follow the FAQ below to rebuild the icon cache.

Skype for Business - Skype search Directory

Hi all,
we use Office pro plus from office 365. However, we have our on-premise Lync servers since we use enterprise voice.
As of yesterday, I have got the Skype for Business and it looks great. All demos show that with Skype for Business we will be able to search Skype contacts right from the search box. In my case I can not search regular skype users from Skype for Business
client. Does anyone know what could be the reason?
Thanks,

The server is due out on May 1st, but I'm not sure there's an article yet... I can't find one. It would be in here somewhere I'd think when it exists:

Getting contacts into Skype for Business

Hi there,
I'm trying out the new Skype for Business, all installed great but I would like to import my previous contacts from my old Skype account. How can I do this? I appear to have no contacts at current.
Nick.

It's okay I see now, I need to put them into my Office 365 contacts. As this is a new account there aren't any so I will use Outlook to export from my old account and then again to import them into my new account.

Lync Recordings disappeared after upgrade to Skype for Business

I had recorded some training sessions while my company was still using Lync. I recently upgraded to Skype of Business and can no longer find my recordings. Searching for *.mp4 files yields nothing. Where did my recorded training sessions go? Should they not still be accessible via Skype? Thanks in advance for any assistance out there!

Hi,
As far as I can tell for now, no.
Currently there is only a preview version of Skype for Business, you can download it from this link below:
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter/evaluate-skype-for-business
Anyway, Lync will surely be upgraded to Skype for Business gradually in future updates or versions, please keep focusing on our products.

Enquiry on Skype For Business

Hi There,
I'm Dan here. I would like to enquire regarding skype for business. Is it possible for my company to use skype as our company staff communication for messaging purposes only.(e.g Office Comunicator) And is it possible if we assign our IT staff to create account accordingly for our company staff and give relevant rights to individual users (e.g some user can use skype and connect with our clients overseas and some only can use to communicate with our internal staff only with no rights to add any outside contact.)
If there is such configuration what is the price for it. Will look forward to your reply.
Thanks
Regards
Dan
