Launching Skype for Business Gives Prompt "Your Organization is now using Microsoft Teams"

We've just begun using O365 as we'd been using Office 2016 & Skype for Business 2015. We've rolled out O365 to a dozen or so people in the office and have not migrated over to using Teams. Although T...

    Hi Paul, I did open a ticket with Microsoft to request the rollback. After providing a 'business case' for rolling back they did just now complete the request, thankfully. So I am now officially on my Island.

     

    Took 7 days but it is done.

     

    Thanks for the input Paul!

Unfortunately everyone else has the same setting as me. But everyone else is working fine. And I logged into another computer and I was able to log in fine to Skype from that computer. That leads me to believe it's a reg setting somewhere.

 

I will contact support and see if I can't reverse this setting before it's too late.

 

Thanks for the input. I'll keep you posted.

I ran across this post where they mentioned using powershell to enable Teams Only in this one instance. 

 

Is there a powershell to 'disable' Teams Only?

    You can try the following depending on which mode you want your user to be:
    Grant-CsTeamsUpgradePolicy -PolicyName SfBOnly -Identity user@contoso.com
    Grant-CsTeamsUpgradePolicy -PolicyName Islands -Identity user@contoso.com

      HI Paul, I thought I was preparing for the worst with having to jump in to use the PowerShell commands that might affect the entire company. Everyone else is working so I'd rather not rock the boat during our busy time. So...

       

      I simply https://www.msdigest.net/2016/01/delete-the-skype-for-business-lync-sip-profile/ from %UserProfile%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Lync and it appears I'm back up and running.  Although time will tell.

       

      Don't get me wrong. I still want to know exactly WHY my Skype for Business on prem config still functions properly even though in O365 the Teams Upgrade/Coexistence Mode forced 'Teams only'.

       

      So while I may delve into the PowerShell commands you provided that would be a last resort option if this would begin to afflict others.

        Hi Paul, I've got the powershell module installed. Trying to get connected to the online Skype for Business server per these commands:

        Run PowerShell ISE as Administrator

Set-ExecutionPolicy unrestricted

Import-Module SkypeOnlineConnector

$cred = Get-Credential

$session = New-CsOnlineSession -Credential $cred -Verbose

Import-PSSession -Session $session

        I'm not getting a failure when supplying my credentials in 4 above but when I run line 2 I get an error "Unable to connect to the remote server". 

        Would you happen to have any recommendations for the proper command or step after Get-Credentials to connect to the online Skype server?

         

        I'm seeing the following failure:
