Hello All,

I need to deploy Skype for Business on 30 systems, the end users have an Office 365 E1 Subscription and Office Pro 2013 (with no Skype for Business) They are able to individually log in and download the Skype for Business Application from their office 365 account but I do not want them to do that, is there an .exe or an msi package that will allow me deploy Skype for Business on all of the systems, with out the need to log in to all of them?

Thank you

Ron

If it's for Office365, you could use the Lync Basic client for this:

You would need to ensure it's patched after that, the same as with Office365.  This is of course because the Skype for Business client is just a patched version of the Lync 2013 client.

Hi Ron,

If you have MSDN subscriptions, you can download Lync 2013 here:  https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/subscriptions/downloads/hh442898.aspx#FileId=57205 .

And then install the April 14, 2015 update, Lync 2013 will be upgraded to Skype for Business.
