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://
Did you join the SrS device to a domain? It may have possibly pulled down a GPO that modified the auto launch of the built in Skype profile
David I did join the device to a domain but put it in a non GPO OU in AD.
Interesting...I mentioned the above b/c I joined the device to the domain and unknowningly put the computer object in an OU that received a GPO. Similar to your issue I wasnt able to get the Skype profile to auto launch and had to reimage the sfc pro 4 get it working again.

Joining the domain has a tendency to clear the autologon reg keys, causing the system to be stuck at windows login screen instead of booting up SfB.
Can you verify the following registry key: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon AdminAutoLogon = (dword) 1
If this fixes the problem, I recommend creating a separate OU for Rigel devices and applying a GPO to that OU to set this registry key.
- Hello David,
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
