Skype Room System shows calendar info but can't sign in
- May 24, 2018
Resolved!
We have now fixed this issue and it turns out it was firewall related. This is why it worked on our (Guest) Wi-Fi because that doesn't go through a firewall in the same way.
An easy way to check is to run Microsoft's https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=53885 in "Connectivity Check" mode. It only takes a minute to run and enabled us to give our network team the exact info on what was getting blocked.
It turned out, although we had added all of the URLs & IPs from the official Microsoft list, our next-gen layer 7 firewall was blocking particular ports (UDP 3478, 3479, 3480, 3481). We had to add these ports to our "STUN rule" to get them working.
After that was done, the SRS logged in immediately
If I connect the smartdock to our LAN it will not be able to sign in
If I then connect it to any public wifi it can sign in.
If I then plug it back into the LAN then it is now able to sign in.
This makes me think it caches something after a successful sign-in that it doesn't need to do on subsequent sign-ins?
So still related to the firewalls on our LAN but not a port/URL that it needs each time!?
I have a similar issue, I moved mine from one SfB deployment to a other and then back and I am experiencing signing into the calendar (O365) but not SfB (on-premises). Something I need to troubleshoot.

Power looks fine, I can browse web pages under the admin account without issue (including signing into the office portal and Teams online).
I just rebuilt one of the devices and it's happened again, although this time, signing-in over WiFi and then back in over the LAN didn't fix it :'(
I'm logging this with Premier Support now

Had the same issue, but mine was solved after doing a full manual sync from our local AD.

Any luck. I have the same issue. I know it is behind a proxy but the message is not very helpful. I noticed there is an update to 1709 but it wants to uninstall some Skype things. Have you tried that? Not sure if the system will still work after?

Don't upgrade to 1709 https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/Skype-for-Business-Blog/Skype-Room-Systems-v2-IT-Admins-should-not-upgrade-past-Windows/ba-p/136597
I'm in the office tomorrow so will have a test out with my Smartdock issue.

I just got it working by added the device to our domain. Not sure that is the correct method? Why would that allow this to work.
Thanks,
Jason
