To amalgamate the two services, a Messenger user must sign-in to Skype, at which point all their Messenger contacts will become available. The most recent update to Skype brings with it the ability to sign-in to the service using a Microsoft account – the same as used for Messenger. If your staff are trying to sign-in to Skype4B, perhaps there is a desire to use the application or a business driver and you might consider looking at the Skype for Business Online Plan 1 or Plan 2.Microsoft, as many expected, will shutter WIndows Live Messenger in early 2013, instead beginning a process of migrating the “millions” of existing Messenger users to recently purchased communication service Skype. There is a process to do this manually if you're interested: I don't believe there is any current way to automatically restrict which applications are installed by default through the Office 365 portal. Or another scenario could be that you use Skype for Business Online via the Skype Online Plan 1 or Plan 2 subscription, in which case you would also want access to the Skype client. You have a new staff member starting who requires the Office suite so you purchase the suite using the Office 365 Business subscription, which includes the Skype for Business client.
The purchase/subscription for access to the Office suite (through the Office 365 Business subcription, or through any other means) is separate to obtaining access to the Skype Server/Service.Īs a practical example, your organisation might have a Skype for Business On Premises installation. There are a number of ways that you can procure Skype for Business including On Premises and Online options. Thanks for reading and any help/suggestions are greatly received. So does anyone know why Microsoft have put Skype 2016 in the installer for a product that doesn't allow access to Skype 2016? It's making life extra difficult having to explain this all to my users! I have also manually entered the Internal and External Servers as :443 within the Skype for business 2016 login options (bypassing external DNS requirements) and it still doesn't work. I know that the DNS settings are perfect and the Lync DNS connectivity tester passes without problem. To make matters even more confusing the error that is displayed after an unsuccessful login attempt complains about the DNS settings being incorrect. Prompting users to try and log-in which doesn't work due to the level of service that they pay for. Despite this during the installation of Office 365 applications on a Windows PC, Skype for business is installed and configured to start up during log-on. To my knowledge this doesn't include access to Skype for Business. We have a customer that have purchased licensing for Office 365 Business.
