This issue occurs because Skype for Business 2016 uses the PR_PROFILE_USER property to get the free/busy information. However, Microsoft Outlook 2016 doesn't write the property as part of the Reliable Profiles feature.

Workaround

Important

Follow the steps in this section carefully. Serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Before you modify it, back up the registry for restoration in case problems occur.

To work around this issue in a Click-to-Run version of Skype for Business 2016, use the Workaround in this section.

Note

Only the workaround itself is supported by the Outlook team. The preliminary steps in the first procedure are unsupported. However, this procedure provides information that is required to complete the workaround. These steps also provide a method to verify that the workaround is deployed correctly and to back out the changes if it's necessary.

Preliminary steps (unsupported)

Important

The following procedure is unsupported by the Outlook team and may cause other issues in Outlook. Use this procedure at your own risk. We do not recommend that you use this procedure. However, we are including it here because it was previously published, and you may have to have to use these steps to remove the MAPI PR_PROFILE_USER property (or registry key) after fixes are released for all Click-to-Run product channels.

  1. Start Registry Editor.

    Windows 10

    Type regedit.exe at the Start screen, and then tap or click regedit in the search results.

    Windows 8.1 and Windows 8

    Swipe in from the right to open the charms, select Search, and then type regedit.exe in the search box.

    Windows 7 and Windows Vista

    Click Start, type regedit in the Start Search box, and then press Enter. If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type the password, or click Allow.

  2. Locate the following registry subkey:

    HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftOffice16.0OutlookProfiles

  3. Under this subkey, locate and expand the name of your Outlook profile.

    Note

    By default, the profile name is 'Outlook.' However, your profile may have a different name if you created it manually.

  4. Under the profile, locate and then expand the 9375CFF0413111d3B88A00104B2A6676 key.

  5. Under the 9375CFF0413111d3B88A00104B2A6676 key, you should see a subfolder for each account that's in your profile. Select the first subfolder (00000001), and then examine the data of the Account Name binary value by double-clicking the value. Repeat this process until you find the Account Name value that includes your SMTP address.

  6. Under the 0000000x subkey that includes your SMTP address, locate the Service UID binary value.

    Note

    This value represents a GUID (for example, c3 d1 9a 7b 80 1b c4 4a 96 0a e5 b6 3b f9 7c 7e).

  7. Locate the subfolder in your profile that matches the GUID value that you found in step 6 (for example, c3d19a7b801bc44a960ae5b63bf97c7e).

  8. Under the subkey from step 7, examine the 01023d0d binary value.

    Note

    This value represents a GUID (for example, 5f cf d5 f1 ba 5c 6f 45 b3 57 cc 5e 0d 16 94 58).

  9. Locate the subfolder in your profile that matches the GUID value from step 8 (for example, 5fcfd5f1ba5c6f45b357cc5e0d169458).

  10. In this location, create a string value that's named 001e6603, as shown.

  11. Find the user's Legacy Exchange domain name (DN).

  12. Press and hold Ctrl while you right-click the Outlook system tray icon. Then, select Test E-mail AutoConfiguration.

  13. In the dialog box that opens, clear both the Use GuessSmart and Secure Guessmart Authentication check boxes, and then click Test.

  14. After the test is complete, select the XML tab, and then locate the Legacy DN value, as shown.

    Copy the legacy DN information. Although the entire tagged entry is highlighted in this screen shot, the value that you want to copy is everything between the tags. In this example, it is /o=Contoso /ou=Exchange Administrative Group (FYDIBOHF23SPDLT)/cn=Recipients/cn=4ef0d05da334258afda34a7ce08a430-TestDir1.

  15. In the registry, populate the Value data field by using the legacy DN information that you just copied, as shown. Then click OK.

Workaround (supported)

  1. Obtain the MFCMapi tool from the following CodePlex website:

  2. Start the tool on the affected user's computer.

  3. Click Profile, and then click Show Profiles.

  4. Double-click the affected user's profile. In this situation, there is only the default profile that's named 'Outlook.' If the user has multiple profiles, select the one that represents their primary user account that is experiencing this issue.

  5. In the Services table that opens, locate the service that has the Display Name of 'Microsoft Exchange,' and then double-click that service to open it.

  6. In the Providers table that opens. locate and select the provider that has the SMTP address of the affected user that has no entries for 'PR_PROVIDER_DISPLAY.'

  7. In the MFCMapi tool, examine the Providers window to make sure that the user's SMTP address provider is selected. Then, look for the property that's named PR_PROFILE_USER. If this property exists, go to step 10. If this property does not exist, click Additional Properties on the Property menu, and then click the Add button.

  8. In the Property Tag dialog box, type PR_PROFILE_USER.

    Note

    MFCMapi translates the named Property Tag into the correct values, as shown.

  9. Click OK. Then, click OK in the Additional Properties window.

  10. Run Test Autodiscovery from the Preliminary steps procedure to get the affected user's Legacy Exchange DN (LegDN). Copy this information to the clipboard.

  11. In the Providers window, right-click the PR_PROFILE_USER property, and then click Edit.

  12. Paste the user's LegDN information in the Ansi text box, and then click OK.

    Note

    MFCMapi may now show two entries for PR_PROFILE_USER. This is a known display issue that can be safely ignored.

  13. Optional: Use the method that is described in Workaround 1 to examine the new registry value that was created by MFCMapi and verify that it's in the correct Outlook Profile for the affected user.

  14. Close all MFCMapi windows and Registry Editor, and then test MAPI connectivity. Also, completely log off from Skype, and verify that the program is not running.

  15. Log back on to Skype, wait a minute or two, and then check the Skype configuration. You should now see MAPI Status displayed as OK.

    Note

    It can take some time for the change to take effect. You may have to log out of Outlook and Skype for Business and then sign back in to see the change.

If you use Skype for Business to call a phone number that is shared by more than one person (such as a call center), it will show the name of the first person listed under that number in the Active Directory, regardless of who picks up the call. Thus, if you've stored the number as a contact associated with a particular person's name, it is possible that the person whose name you click to initiate the call, the person who actually answers the phone, and the person whose name is shown in the conversation window will be three different people.
