Skype for business questions

Hello,
One of our customers is planning to implement Skype for Business in their infrastructure with 150+ users. They have some questions regarding Skype and we are unable to answer some of them, so i kindly ask you to assist us with the answers of those questions:
Is it possible to block all external users (contacts, messages and free skype calls) and comunicate only with the internal employees?
Is it possible to block (centraly) the options to change the address book or the settings in Skype?
Is there a option to have centraly managed history log?
Are there any additional fees for the implementation and how much SkypeOut $ credit is required to enable Skype for Buisness?
Thank you and best regards,
Zhivko Zhekov

Is it possible to block all external users (contacts, messages and free skype calls) and comunicate only with the internal employees?
Yes. Let you configure your company's firewall/router to only allow connections on a certain port thats routed via LAN and have all internal users set alternative port for Skype.
I'll assume with the above question, each Skype ID doesn't have any external contacts already incorporated into each account for company use only.
More details on what ports are required for Skype:
https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA148/which-ports-need-to-be-open-to-use-skype-for-windows-desktop
If they using Mobile version of Skype, that could get trickier as they probably would still be connected different service provider giving them external access on ports if logged into Skype in two places at once. *I haven't tried this but that's what I would suggest*
Thanks,
Kent C.

Skype for business on Azure VM

Hi, I'm trying to install the Skype For Business Edge on MIcrosoft Azure VM, but I'm having a problem to connect using the 5061 port, What could I do to solve this problem? Have anyone already installed the Edge on Azure VM with success?
Thanks

Did you setup Azure Endpoints for port 5061 (and TCP 443/444, UDP 3478 as the defaults)?

If the Access Edge service starts then you should be able to telnet to the cloud service DNS name e.g. ping sfbonazure.cloudapp.net

Skype for Business banned after 30 mins

Hello,
I created a Skype for Business account and 30 minutes later it was banned for violation of term. Please help me reinstate my account. Skype team refuse to tell which clause I violated. I honestly believe I have wronged nobody. How do i violate anything in such a short amount of time?
Thanks.
James

Jae:

Regardless, you must contact Skype Customer Service directly to enquire. Here is a link to the instruction on how to contact Skype Customer Service via their secure portal: Contact Customer Service

Skype for Business / MS Office

I have the new Skype for Business client unstalled in my home office PC as part of the MS Office 2013 suite. Can this client be used to log into my personal Skype account? If so, how do you enter the proper credentials?

Most likely not unless your organization had the ability to bridge those services. Skype personal and Skype for Business to the best of my understanding are not interchangeable in terms of login. One (SFB) is provided by your work, the other isn't.

Skype for Business - Manage the .msi but not Users...

We are considering deploying Skype for Business across our large, international organization. Two questions:
Can we disable the File Transfer function in the .msi we push out to everyone? Our concern is data leakage of confidential information.
Our central IT shared services group wants to manage the configuration and deployment of the .msi but not be tasked with managing everyone's Skype accounts and billing/funding issues. Does Skype account creation and funding of those accounts remain with the individual Skype user when Skype for Business is used?
Thanks for your help.

Hi,
From your description above, did you use Lync 2013 basic version?
Please check if Windows 7 update to the latest version firstly.
As Holger Bunkradt said above, please try to install the update manually.

in Office 365.
http://blogs.skype.com/2014/11/11/introducing-skype-for-business/
What is known about support for UCMA and other Lync SDKs in the new version that is expected to be released in less than six months?

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.

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?
Lync Onprem (with highres photos configured)
<photo type="exchange">
<uri>
<ewsUrl>https://mail.example.com/EWS/Exchange.asmx</ewsUrl>

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.

Any way to remove the prompt after Skype for Business patch?

So we rolled out the latest patches to our test machines and everyone got the new Skype for Business upgrade. When each person logged in they were greeted with a window that said something like:
"Your administrator is set for you to use the Lync User Interface."
We then had to click the Restart Now button which caused Lync to close and open up again and it looked like Lync instead of like Skype.
Is there any way to not have that pop up open and to just have everyone get the old Lync interface as if nothing happened? GPO, Registry, etc?
We want to minimize any confusion people are sure to have the first time they use it.
Thanks!

You can enable the SkypeUI (Set-CsClientPolicy -Identity Global -EnableSkypeUI $true) with the backend still being Lync Server 2013 to get the new client look and feeling.
The Skype for Business 2015 RTM Server bits should be out in May, but the current new functionality can be taken from:

Please mark posts as answers/helpful if it answers your question.
Blog
Lync Validator - Used to assist in the validation and documentation of Lync Server 2013.
Can I just enable it for individual users for testing? I tried doing a get-csclientpolicy and replacing -identity global with -identity <user ID> but it said it didn't exist since it seems it's looking for policies. Not sure if there's
some other way to do that.
Do I need to setup a new policy and just add certain people to it or is there any other way to do that for specific users?
Thanks!

Lync 2013 - Skype for business User Interface

Hello,
We are using Lync 2013 with Lync 2013 server with CU from August 2014 (so not ready for Skype for Business).
I have installed latest Desktop Updates for Windows and Office, and now everytime we log on we get the Skype for Business UI with the question to restart the client with the Lync UI.
I have followed the recommendation in this article:
https://technet.microsoft.com/library/dn954919.aspx
I have set this:
In the [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\Lync] key, create a new
Binary value.
The Value name must be EnableSkypeUI, and the
Value data must be set to 00 00 00 00.
But this settings seems to be completely ignored... doesn't do anything.
We can't set the policy on the server, as the server is not yet up-to-date and doesn't know about a Skype UI policy.
Can somebody please tell me how I can start the updated Lync / Skype for Business client with the Lync UI as a default (without disturbing the user with the restart-the-client pop-up)?
Thanks a lot!

Hi,
As mentioned the Lync Server is not up-to-date, based on my knowledge this is why the issue occurs.
Please refer to this article below:
https://technet.microsoft.com/library/dn954919.aspx
You can configure the client experience only if you are running Lync Server 2013 with the December 2014 Cumulative Update (5.0.8308.857) or later installed. The latest one is:
KB 3036869 February 2015 Cumulative Update 5.0.8308.871 for Lync Server 2013 Core Management Server.
You can specify the client experience the users in your organization will see by using the
Set-CSClientPolicy cmdlet with the EnableSkypeUI parameter:
Set-CsClientPolicy -Identity Global -EnableSkypeUI $true
