Skype For Business 2016

[Firefox]

Has anyone started using this? we downloaded it about 2 weeks ago and all seemed to be working fine. Now all of a sudden we can't sign in and get the following recording in the event log

 

The certificate received from the remote server does not contain the expected name. It is therefore not possible to determine whether we are connecting to the correct server. The server name we were expecting is sip.internaldoamin.com The SSL connection request has failed. The attached data contains the server certificate.

 

The sign in process doesn't error, it just keeps trying. This is connecting into the cloud service as opposed to an internal Lync server.

Is this a typo on the version, where did you get 2016 from (as opposed to 2015 we have at present)?

Can't say I've had any issues with Skype for Business 2016 this week when connecting to our 365 tenant.

 

(SfB 2016 came out with Office 2016 last month)

@Boredguy did it come bundled with Office 2016 or as a separate download? Reason being I read some articles where Office 2016 was removing Skype for Business 2015 but not putting anything back in its place.

[Boredguy]

It was included in the Office 2016 download.

It removed the 2013 version and replaced it quite happily on several of our stations.

The error message would suggest that the common name in the server certificate is wrong/missing. If this is cloud hosted, they broke it.

Turns out the error was a little misleading. It was indeed a Certificate error. Someone hadn't registered out new Comodo Certificate with our internal ADFS servers and the old one had expired

 

Thanks for the help
