Skype for Business Autodiscovery Failing
-
Haven't played with Skype for Business very much as I'm trying to eliminate it, but here goes. We just recently switched e-mail domains. Everything is functioning as intended as far as e-mailing, but Skype for Business is losing chat history and some other issues. When I CTRL + Left click the Skype icon and click on Configuration Information on my local computer, both the EWS Internal URL and EWS External URL fields are completely empty. I read that this means it's likely that auto-discovery is failing.
"The Lync/Skype for Business clients don't use Service Connection Point (SCP) to determine the autodiscover URL. Instead, they rely on DNS records. They base this action on the user’s domain suffix of the WindowsEmailAddress or Mail attribute in Active Directory."
So skype account is logged in as [email protected] but my primary e-mail is [email protected]. Is this what is causing the issue? If so, how is that resolved? I don't seem to be able to manually enter the URL information.

Is this local hosted or Office 365?

Do you have these set up on your DNS server?

is the SIP
proxyAddressesfield in AD reflect the correct domain and user? What about the users' UPN suffix in AD? -

Still need the service records in DNS regardless of if its hosted or on premise. so the new email domain suffix has to match in DNS in order to find the service records. Think that is where your issue is as we ran into this as we have "split brain " DNS here (different internal and external domains). Also the certificates have to match the domain name as well.

Gonna have to figure out how to check all of this. I don't play with e-mail often

Although it is for Office 365, those same DNS should be internal on your Exchange configured properly. -
