Skype for Business and "normal" skype on same lapt...

The company I work for have just replaced Lync with Skype for Business, but how can I have Skype for Buiness and my "normal" Skype on the same laptop

They are two different programs. I have both installed on several machines without issue. I doubt you can use both simultaneously fully (like being on a video call on both at the same time, I don't know why you would) but they can definitely be installed side by side on the same computer.

Lync 2013 / Skype for Business sharing photos with federated contacts

In the new SfB client I can see photos of federated contacts. I'm on Office 365 and this only happens for Federated contacts also hosted on Office 365 where we have an Exchange organisation relationship. I'm not sure if this
is because of the new client, updated server software in Office 365 or something I just missed before.
If I look into the client debug files I can see that the photo URL for Office 365 includes the wssecurity (federated authentication) but for onprem system it's missing.
I have customers with Lync onprem asking for sharing the high res photos with external organisations. The classic URL-sharing is not a viable solution for several reasons. So, based on these findings:
Is the wssecurity (Web Service Security) in the EWS path something that will come to SfB server for onpremises making ot possible to enable photo sharing between organisations having federated identity configured in Exchange?

Hi,
The Skype For Business Server update will come soon, I couldn't find any information about if the WSSecurity would be added to the EWS path for sfb. You can check when the update for Skype For Business comes. Thank you for your understanding.

Business scenario..for ISU and integration with R/3 modules..

Scenario:
1.     Client is providing Utility services to the customer and also to its own employees.
The service is also consumed by the employees who are treated as contract partners in ISU. The constraint is that the utility bill has to be deducted from their payroll, which is deducted monthly using a wage type from their pay roll, which is in SAP R/3.
2.     Similarly some of the contract partners are also vendors to the client (the vendor and contract partner is same). The consumption of utility bill is adjusted to the payment made by the client to vendor.
Questions :
1.     How we can deduct the utility bill of the employees from their payroll. Is there any integration of ISU with HR ?
2.               Also how can we clear the receivables in FICA since data can be pushed from FICA to FICO thru reconciliation keys but not vice versa ?
3.     How can the utility bill be deducted from vendors account and there is no standard link between vendor master to contract partner in ISU.
     Can anybody suggest any standard solution for these two scenarios or any work arounds .
Early solutions are highly appriciated
Thanks and Regards

Hello,
Please look into my answers below:
Questions:
1.     How we can deduct the utility bill of the employees from their payroll. Is there any integration of ISU with HR?
i.     There is no integration between ISU with HR. What you need to do is that create separate account determination id <say HR> and use this id in Contract account to identify that a particular contract account is an employee related ID.
ii.     Now at the end of the day or month collect the O/s balances of all the employee contracts in a form of flat file, use a BDC program to update the data in the HR table PA0014 <Please confirm with your HR colleague too> so that their pay would be = Actual payroll-Amount due.
iii.     After the above step, make sure that you run FPY1 <Payment run program> to clear all employee open items. You can have a separate payment method for Employees and attach the same in contract account
iv.     You can create a separate Z table to map Employee ID with a contract number so that during creation of flat file in step 1.ii above, your job becomes easier.
2. Also how can we clear the receivables in FICA since data can be pushed from FICA to FICO thru reconciliation keys but not vice versa?
i.     Please refer to point 1.iv above. You need to run FPY1 Payment run to clear employee receivables in FICA.
3. How can the utility bill be deducted from vendors account and there is no standard link between vendor master to contract partner in ISU.
i.     There is no integration between ISU with AP. What you need to do is that create separate account determination id <say AP> and use this id in Contract account to identify that a particular contract account is a Vendor related ID.
ii.     Now at the end of the day or month collect the O/s balances of all the vendors in a form of flat file, use a BDC program to update the data in the AP table BSIK so that amount to be collected from vendor = Actual amount-Amount due.
iii.     After the above step, make sure that you run FPY1 <Payment run program> to clear all Vendor open items. You can have a separate payment method for Vendor-Contract Accounts and attach the same in contract account
iv.     You can create a separate Z table to map Vendor number with a contract number so that during creation of flat file in step 1.ii above, your job becomes easier.
Additional points to be considered
1.     Check if at all separate clearing rules are needed for Employee- Contract accounts, Vendor-Contract Accounts & other contract accounts.
2.     Verify FM COMPUTE_CONTRACT ACCOUNT_BALANCES is useful in obtaining the balances of contract accounts <I do not have SAP ISU active system with me else I would have provided correct FM>
3.     There may be performance issues based on the volumes of the data.

Skype for business for Office 365

Hi Team,
I need to upgrade my current Lync 2013 to Skype for business and as per information i got an update released by Microsoft KB2889923 ... this is used to upgrade Lync 2013 to skype for business.......but in case of Office 365 this update dosent seems to work......
so i wanted to know if there is any other update or package or any other way to upgrade office 365 Lync.

Hi,
Please check out this thread
http://community.office365.com/en-us/f/172/t/345370.aspx
“Q2. Where can I download Skype for Business since it does not appear to be included with the Office365 download file? ====================== A2. You need to manually update your Office application,
then you will be able to upgrade to Skype for Business. You can to do this on your Outlook client: Open your Outlook client ->
FILE ->
Office Account ->
Apply updates”
And this issue is more related to Office 365 application, we would like to give a hand, but we are not the specialists in this filed. Thanks
for your understanding.
Best regards,
Eric

Skype for Business bug - changing custom locations

Just transitioned from Lync to Skype for Business and have noticed this issue on multiple workstations following the switch. Sometimes I am unable to change my custom location using the steps explained by the office support guide here: https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Set-change-or-hide-your-location-in-Skype-for-Business-Lync-9d8b0e1c-c51d-42cc-a035-918e2ec47f66. Entering a free-form location, as well as selecting from a previous entered location does not seem to be working correctly. The input box will always appear as if I'm still entering text. Hitting enter, tab, clicking in a different portion of the application, closing the application, or restarting the application does not seem to make the status persist. Occasionally, this works as expected, but most of the time I am unable to save my location.

Hi,
This Community is only dealing with Skype (the consumer product) and not Skype for Business. Best to start with Skype for Business support, e.g. here: https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Set-change-or-hide-your-location-in-Skype-for-Business-Lync--9d8b0e1c-c51d-42cc-a035-918e2ec47f66?ui=en-US&rs=en-US&ad=US

Skype for Business color scheme

The new Skype for Business looks as if colored by a preschooler with two crayons; blue and blue. It is difficult to read and simply looks unprofessional.
Please include an option to change the color scheme in the next release.

I second the motion. IT rolled out the Skype for Business and I literally typed out one message to a user and saw the blue-on-blue color theme and started clicking frantically. It is too bright and having both parties appear in blue is confusing and quite frankly WRONG.
Please allow users to customize this. I suggest a box that says "Chat Box Background Color" that has a couple of different options. Please talk to your programmers. I am pretty sure this is an easy fix.
Thanks.

Skype for Business - Cannot see shared screens, bu...

I just started a new job and am required to use Skype for Business. I downloaded Skype for Business 32 bit. My PC is 64 bit but because I already have other Office 32 bit programs, I cannot install the 64 bit version.
Everything in Skype for Business appears to work properly, except for the fact that I cannot see someone else's screen when they've shared it with me. When someone shares their screen with me, all that I can see is the empty white box where their desktop should be. When I share my screen with others, they can see my desktop correctly.
What other information is needed to help diagnose this issue? I really need this functionality in order to do my job properly.
Thanks in advance for your help.

I was using Lync as part of the offerings found on Office 365 and I was prompted to "upgrade" to Skype for Business and so I did per the suggestion. Lync had screen sharing, Skype for Business currently does not have screen sharing! This is a major dissapointment. Who is the product manager and why the premature roll-out? This is incredebly frustrating as most all my clients leverage Lync (their own install on their servers... have not upgraded yet.. lucky for them) and screen sharing is an important part of my interaction. It took many of my clients a long time to master Lync and therefore, it is incredebly challenging to teach them how to use an alternative tool over the phone. I feel incridebly duped. My clients can share with me however, I cannot share with them. What is the current timeframe for enabling (re-enabling) this functionality? How can I get back Lync? Is there a beta release of the next version? Finally, how can this be called "Skype for Business" when a core aspect of the tool to conduct "business" had been stripped away without warning?

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:

Skype For Business - Cannot open links

Whenever a collegue sends me a link, or i send them a link to a website, we cannot open them.
We get the message the link is invalid or is blocked through security reasons.
We cannot find a solution in the settings for Skype for Business.
! We are using office 2016 preview with skype for business and all have office 365 accounts.

Hi,
For this issue, we can check the default programs. Please make sure Skype for Business and Internet Explorer have been both set as default.
In Windows 8.1, browse to: Control Panel\Programs\Default Programs\Set Default Programs
Select Skype for Business and Internet Explorer and make them as default.
If you are using another browser, do the same for it.
If this method doesn't work, please let me know the exact error message so that I can do more research.

306MB security update for Skype for Business

Hi Microsoft or Community,
I went through a list of updates being shown by WIndows update (I'm on 8.1) and was stunned to see this
Security update for Skype for Business(KB3039779) 64Bit: 306MB
Security update for Skype for Business(KB3054946) 64Bit: 100.1MB
What's going on? What happened to the small and light messaging clients? I mean the above update is about 400MB that too, just security. Are you intending to update just skype or is this going to write all over the Windows 8 binaries. I believe the messaging client has to be/can be less that 50MB in total. Use the media, networking and security layers of the host OS, don't rewrite these in the messaging client. In fact the design philosphy from mobiles should carry over.
The biggest advantage MS has here is that you write the OS too where the security and multi-media capabilities should logically be added. If the 400MB above is updating those capabilities then call it a windows update.
For now I will uncheck the update box, so I don't install the above two patches. Please escalate this to MS product management and add to your product roadmap to design and release a compact skype.
Thanks and regards,
A Samel

Lync 2013 / Skype for Business avatar problem

Hello there,
we’ve experienced a quite strange problem. When setting own user picture in Exchange OWA 2013 the picture right away is visible in SfB (Skype for Business) and everything work. The problem when deleting this
picture in OWA it never vanishes from SfB. Also when setting a new picture the new picture also shows in SfB BUT then deleting this picture again in OWA the very first picture comes back. I’ve tried to delete all kind of caches (Lync / Outlook / OAB) in Explorer
and Registry already but it just does not help. I’m quite sure that this is a local problem because we I sign in to another client computer with the same account the empty user picture is showing (as it should). Is there any way to get rid of this somewhere
cached picture? It’s obviously not a problem at the server side.
Thanks for help!
Cheers
Robert

Hi,
The photo cache on Lync client side: %userprofile%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Lync \sip_<SIP URI>\ABS_<SIP URI>.cache, try to delete it and test again.
Please also try to repair Office and then have a test.

Skype for Business & Lync : Contact icons not appe...

In our environment we have several users that are using Skype for Business, and the rest using Lync.
We have noticed that when migrating our users over to Skype for Business, the contact functionality that shows "icons" next to each person's name is now blank.
As an example, my personal icon shows up for me but none of my contacts show their customized pictures.
Lync users can see my icon and can see everyone elses.
Thank you

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.

Using skype for business instead of skype

I'm seeing other users words instead of the emoticons in text messaging from my mac laptop. Instead of the emoticon I see the words in parens: rainbow, man, woman for example. Is skype ever gonna sync up the versions so everyone sees the same thing on its product?

Hi Rudolf and welcome to the Skype Community,
Di you know you can actually add Skype contacts on Skype for Business and vice versa? Learn more about adding SfB contacts in Skype here: https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA12315/can-i-contact-lync-users-from-skype
So basically you can just decide for one client and continue using that. Keep in mind though that currently you can't do Skype screen sharing across these two account types. If you are using the advanced screen share functionality of Skype for Business I would recommend going for that.
