      Skype for Business 2016 Service Degraded

      Current Status: Engineers are developing a solution to ensure that the affected Skype for Business installation URLs route affected users to the newest version of the Skype for Business client. Once development phase completes, engineers will perform tests to ensure the fix is a valid solution and deploy it throughout the affected environment. 
      
        User Experience: Affected users who have upgraded to Office 2016 are unable to install Skype for Business 2016. The Skype for Business 2016 installation URL located on the Office 365 homepage is not routing affected users to the newest version of Skype for Business. As a result, some users may receive the error message: “We have detected that you have a newer version of Office installed on your device. If you want to install an older version of Office, please remove these newer products and try again.” 
      
       Customer Impact: Impact is isolated to customers who have purchased the Office 365 business Premium subscription. Analysis indicates that the scope of customers experiencing impact appears to be very limited with only a few customers reporting the issue.
      
       Incident Start Time: Tuesday, September 22, 2015, at 7:30 AM UTC
      
       Next Update by: Tuesday, September 22, 2015, at 7:00 PM UTC

        Interesting...thanks!

        As a long suffering Windows Phone fan and user, I am starting wonder if Microsoft will ever roll things out correctly.

          Microsoft Office team just stated this: "We are actively working on this and will circle back soon. Stay tuned."

          More outages! Skype, Office 365, downloads, Azure. What a week for them.

          That's it! I'm going Mac!

          Just kidding...just doing the normal reaction when we get frustrated with Microsoft... 🙂

          I'll go Linux before I go Mac... Especially since @scottalanmiller had so much issue with his crashing...

              @gjacobse I went Linux... the only thing aggravating the crap out of me are things like Origin games installer that won't work properly in Wine, lol.

                  Is this still Lync on the backend or did they change that?

                    Still Lync. No plans for that to change.

                      Guess we got lucky. The version downloaded from the portal for us had all the updated clients, including Skype for Business 2016 (sans InfoPath, but we expected that).
