MSI Installation?
Is there a way to deploy the MSI installation of Skype for Business? We need to deploy Skype for Business 2016 via SCCM to a client with a mixture of Office 2010, 2013, and 2016, all MSI installatio...
Your problem is that Office 365 only supports the Office 2016 now, so Skype for Business 2016. Others may work but support for them stopped a year after 2016 shipped. B. Would be fine, but Skype Basic is well, basic.
Why not jump ahead straight to Teams, they'll need to end up there at some point. There are some feature gaps that are being plugged, but the basics around meeting and calling are all in place.
Do you have a link that Office 365 only supports Office 2016? And as for SfB Basic, the only limitations that I've been able to find are around enterprise voice, from here: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn933896.aspx
We're only doing IM/P and conferencing, so that shouldn't affect them.
