Skype for Business
-
not working. Unless you mean that onmicrosoft.com thing I had to signup with long ago?
-
I tried to login with the same user/pass I use to login to O365 online.

Rumour is pretty much nothing is working on SfB. It's just a more broken rebranding of Lync.

Yeah I've heard it not Skype - as Scott said, it's just Lync rebranded. That's sad!

They've been having credential issues for a couple of days. Sharepoint and Lync (SfB) have been acting really strange.

Sadly, Skype has been abandoned even after Microsoft abandoned Lync. Both are really dead now. Now they have nothing working at all.

Since when was Skype abandoned?
-
What a F'up piece of software. WTF?

Few weeks ago when the year long "Skype is replacing Lync because Lync failed" initiative was suddenly abandoned and the business class Skype service cancelled and Lync rebranded to hide the fact that Skype was abandoned. Skype for Business is Lync, not Skype, and the business class Skype service we've been being marketed for quite some time is not coming now.

According to my O365 portal admin area, I have this software on my PC as well a the privilege to use it.
When I go to login it says to use your Sign-in address, not your Skype Name or Microsoft Account.
Where is this found?
You get it from the office portal. You need the Skype for bussiness download (formerly Lync) to use it. It is not the same as skype so you can't use the skype username. though you can add skype (and other) users once you install it.

My SfB got hung the other day,.. Enter TaskManager... the Executable still showed LYNC.exe....

I am using the Skype for Business software as it was part of my Office 365 download.
It appears that SfB wants me to use the [email protected] address, but then won't login using
[email protected] (office 365 user and admin) and [email protected] (o365 admin and email address created for the account 1.5 years ago) addresses.
I have tried using technobble.us\alex and tnbonline.onmicrosoft.com\Alexander as well.
-
Our work just switched over - now the Lync app is Skype for Business

Go into, Settings -> Tools -> Options -> Personal -> Advanced.
Change manual config to look like this:
The address is: sipdir.online.lync.com:443

The admin account shouldn't have a skype for business login, I believe it needs to have a mailbox on the account to work.
You should use the [email protected] format for it I believe
Have you tried [email protected]? -

If your DNS is setup right you don't need to do that.
