Hello Adrian,

On the https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn951388.aspx there is this statement:

"Windows Server 2016 is not included in this list right now, but we're planning to add it as a supported option after Skype for Business Server Cumulative Update 5 is released. Until then, please don't try to use Windows Server 2016 as an OS for your Skype for Business deployment today, as it's not yet supported, and we don't recommend it. And check back to this page once the cumulative update is released to confirm Windows Server 2016 is added to our supported list at that time. "

so far, the latest release is CU4 HF1 (v6.0.9319.277) Feb2017
