Enabling modern authentication (ADAL) on Skype for Business

By default, Skype for Business requires users to use App Passwords for logging into Skype for Business.

I'm stealing the info from this post from this excellent tutorial:
https://www.ronnipedersen.com/2017/07/11/enable-modern-authentication-for-skype-for-business-online

I'm simplifying for my future use.  Important note - the DNS records as defined by Microsoft should be in place before going through this process.  Particularly, there should be a CNAME record pointing lyncsicover.domainname.com to webdir.online.lync.com.

First, download the Visual Basic C++ 2017 redistributable from here:
https://aka.ms/vs/15/release/VC_redist.x64.exe

This is needed for the Skype for Business Powershell installer.

Then download the Skype for Business Powershell installer itself:
https://download.microsoft.com/download/2/0/5/2050B39B-4DA5-48E0-B768-583533B42C3B/SkypeOnlinePowerShell.Exe


Then run PowerShell and run these commands:
$sfboSession = New-CsOnlineSession -UserName user@domain.com
Import-PSSession $sfboSession

Then run:
Get-CsOAuthConfiguration

You'll find a line for "ClientAdalAuthOverride" which will likely show "disabled" which is the behavior we want to change.

Run this command:
Set-CsOAuthConfiguration -ClientAdalAuthOverride Allowed

This process allows ADAL (aka modern authentication).  The tutorial I am replicating says this change can take up to 24 hours to take effect, but it often takes effect within one hour.

Skype click to call disables copy paste in MS Word 2007

I've seen this twice - an installation of Skype Click to Call (which I think is mostly useless anyway) keeps MS Word 2007 from copying and pasting normally.  In my most recent test, I opened a Word doc and edited the font size and font color.  I copied that text and went into a new document.  I pasted it and all formatting was lost.  I went into paste -> special on the new doc, and the only two formats I could paste in were forms of unicode text (rich text and/or HTML or others not there).

After removing Skype Click to Call, I could copy and paste normally between Word documents.

normal.dotm - file is in use by another application or user

I found a user with this normal.dotm error on a Windows 7 laptop with Office 2007:

I could temporarily fix the problem by deleting normal.dotm (after closing all Word and Outlook windows) since Word would recreate the file on the next opening - but that was only a temporary fix. After looking through some things and this page:

I felt that it was a Skype or other add-in that was causing the error. I found this - which I was only able to delete when logged in as admin (not the user even though she was a local admin on that computer).

Unchecking Skype4Word seems to have fixed the problem.
