As of today Windows Server 2016 support for Skype for Business Server 2015 is here! It's now official https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/help/4015888/cumulative-update-adds-supports-for-windows-server-2016-to-skype-for-b:
"We are happy to announce that Skype for Business Server 2015 is supported to run on Windows Server 2016 - if you have the May 2017 update (aka CU5) for Skype for Business Server installed."
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
Hey Luis
CU5 (6.0.9319.281) is out now... but the Page (https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn951388.aspx) show still the same... may they are not so fast in Updating the pages...
Hope it will change soon

Windows Server 2016 is not supported as an operating system for Skype for Business Server 2015, anymore! The article that mentioned support was published prematurely and was pulled.
