Skype Room System V2 device will not auto login to Skype for Business
- Make sure the autologin is signing into the "Skype" user account.
The autolaunch behavior is triggered in:
HKU\Skype\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run "SkypeRoomSystemLaunch" where it will have a long command that ultimately protocol launch skype-mrx://
I joined my machine to my entreprise domain but i cannot use the skype default account with the autologon, i have to switch everytime to .\admin to get internet access. The GPO was denied on the SRS2 machine. I can see it in the GPO report. How can i change the Skype default account to admin with athe auto launch of SFB. And what's the pwd for the Skype account ?
Thanks
MicrosoftAfter you join the domain, please verify this regkey is set as follows: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon AdminAutoLogon = (dword) 1
Joining a domain has a tendency to clear this reg key even if no GPO policy is applied to the device. I recommend setting up a separate OU for your SRSv2 device and creating a GPO to ensure this flag is set.
Strongly recommend your domain joined SRS v2 unit continue to auto login to the Skype user account (it has no password). For normal operation in a meeting room, SRS v2 expects to be running under the Skype account to function properly (for example, the Skype user account is locked down security policies you will want when you leave it running in a meeting room).

- Hello David,
Thanks for your recos, Anyway the detailled infos are on the technet with the load of the registry hive with the nt.dat file and my mistake was with the quotes for the proxy value. Once removed the quotes everything seems fine for the SFB profile.SRS v3.0.2.0 failing to login with the "Skype" profile just get a hung app experience however if I login as the admin and launch the app all works fine? Any idea's guys?

We just debugged and fixed an issue that sounds exactly like this yesterday. It will occur when upgrading from 3.0.0.0 to 3.0.2.0. Note, you should only get 3.0.2.0 if you are enrolled in our selfhost program.
We have fixed it and are validating today. Expect to see a 3.0.5.0 build posted to our selfhost ring in the next day or two. If that looks good, it will be released to everybody towards the end of the month.
- but does the skype profile even support the proxy ? I doubt it because only my admin is able to use the edge browser with proxy then i'm able to launch the skype app.
If the skype app is not designed to go trough a proxy natively, how can i make it work under the Skype profile ?
I have already check the reg entries mentionned in your previous postsThe skype app works fine in our environment through proxy, so that should not be the reason. Have you turned on "automatic proxy discovery", or have you set the proxy settings via gpo only for user accounts?
