Summary: Review this topic for information about how to integrate Skype for Business Server with Exchange Server 2016 or Exchange Server 2013.

Before you can integrate Skype for Business Server and Exchange Server, you must ensure that both Exchange Server and Skype for Business Server are fully installed and up and running.
For details about installing Exchange Server, see the Exchange Server Planning and Deployment documentation for your version of Exchange.
After the servers are up and running, you must assign server-to-server authentication certificates to both Skype for Business Server and Exchange Server; these certificates allow Skype for Business Server and Exchange Server to exchange information and to communicate with one another. When you install Exchange Server, a self-signed certificate with the name Microsoft Exchange Server Auth Certificate is created for you. This certificate, which can be found in the local computer certificate store, should be used for server-to-server authentication on Exchange Server. For details about assigning certificates in Exchange Server, see Configure Mail Flow and Client Access.
For Skype for Business Server you can use an existing Skype for Business Server certificate as your server-to-server authentication certificate; for example, your default certificate can also be used as the OAuthTokenIssuer certificate. Skype for Business Server allows you to use any Web server certificate as the certificate for server-to-server authentication provided that:
Microsoft is getting serious with the Mac today with its new Skype for Business preview for OS X. The new business-focused version of Skype for Mac runs on OS X El Capitan and focuses on creating. Connect with your team anywhere using clients across Windows, Mac, iOS, and Android™, or bring remote participants into meeting spaces of all sizes with Skype for Business. To get the mobile app, enter your email and we'll send a download link. When we retire older versions of Skype, if you are still using an older version, you may be signed out of Skype automatically and won’t be able to sign in again until you upgrade to the latest version.

After the certificates have been assigned, you must then configure the autodiscover service on Exchange Server. In Exchange Server, the autodiscover service configures user profiles and provides access to Exchange services when users log on to the system. Users present the autodiscover service with their email address and password; in turn, the services provide the user with information such as:
The autodiscover service must be configured before you can integrate Skype for Business Server and Exchange Server. You can verify whether or not the autodiscover service has been configured by running the following command from the Exchange Server Management Shell and checking the value of the AutoDiscoverServiceInternalUri property:
If this value is blank, you must assign a URI to the autodiscover service. Typically this URI will look similar to this: https://autodiscover.litwareinc.com/autodiscover/autodiscover.xml
You can assign the autodiscover URI by running a command similar to this:
For details about the autodiscover service, see Autodiscover Service.
After the autodiscover service has been configured, you must then modify the Skype for Business Server OAuth configuration settings; this ensures that Skype for Business Server knows where to find the autodiscover service. To modify the OAuth configuration settings in Skype for Business Server, run the following command from within the Skype for Business Server Management Shell. When running this command, be sure that you specify the URI to the autodiscover service running on your Exchange Server, and that you use autodiscover.svc to point to the service location instead of autodiscover.xml (which points to the XML file used by the service):
Note
The Identity parameter in the preceding command is optional; that's because Skype for Business Server only allows you to have a single, global collection of OAuth configuration settings. Among other things, that means that you can configure the autodiscover URL by using this slightly-simpler command:
Note
Set-CsOAuthConfiguration-ExchangeAutodiscoverUrl 'https://autodiscover.litwareinc.com/autodiscover/autodiscover.svc'
Note
If you are unfamiliar with the technology, OAuth is a standard authorization protocol used by a number of major websites. With OAuth, user credentials and passwords are not passed from one computer to another. Instead, authentication and authorization is based on the exchange of security tokens; these tokens grant access to a specific set of resources for a specific amount of time.

In addition to configuring the autodiscover service, you must also create a DNS record for the service that points to your Exchange Server. For example, if your autodiscover service is located at autodiscover.litwareinc.com you will need to create a DNS record for autodiscover.litwareinc.com that resolves to the fully qualified domain name of your Exchange Server (for example, atl-exchange-001.litwareinc.com).
