At first I had assumed that Skype for Business would be installed with CtR but it wasn't. That's why it was installed separately.

Afaik will thw SfB "Full Client" only installed by the C2R Client when you have a E3,E4,E5 Plan, for the Business Plans, you must install SfB Basic seperatly. But you can create a custom XML and add the following tag to exclude Components that you don't want to have installed.

What happens when you disable the User for SfB in the Control Panel? Are you still getting these errors?
