Skype for Business not Launching (SOLVED)

Deleted
Not applicable

Dear All,
 
After a migration from Lync,Exchange to Office365 we have 1 user that is unable to connect not even launch Skype for Business.
The environment is Server2008R2,Citrix Xenapp 6.5,appsense based using thin clients , Office365 uses OKTA as authenticator, the user profile is mandatory (spoofed + folder redirection) and is removed after logoff (so a clean user profile at each logon)
 
The user can use Outlook locally and connect to OWA + use the Skype online , Office2016 is connected to the account.
The problem is when the client is launched , the splash screen appears .. and that is it , in the event log the following is seen.

Some things that can be ruled out are local problems with the installation , the user is having this issue on all 25 servers and 250+ other users do not have any issue , to make it even more challenging we had her try to use Skype on a laptop , same issue! We compared the AD account+attributes with some of her colleagues and we do not see any difference (exept she has a SIDhistory object) , also we cleared the appsense profile and all redirected + cached folder making this a fresh logged on user.
 
Anyone has some ideas what can cause this problem?

All,

 

Had some playtime with the user her account , and it seemed that someone had "put" a trailing space in the SIP attribute in AD during the O365 migration, I found this when checking the reg keys.

 

For some reason Skype "panics" and crashed (autologon) , manually typing the mail address at the logon screen with a trailing space does not cause any issues (auto corrected).
