Problem
Consider the following scenarios:
- You add a new Skype for Business contact. But the contact doesn't appear in the Outlook Skype for Business Contacts folder.
- You remove a contact from Skype for Business. However, the contact isn't removed from the Outlook Skype for Business Contacts folder.
- The Outlook Skype for Business Contacts folder contains stale contact information (it isn't updating). This stale data may still sync to Skype for Business contacts.
In these scenarios, the Outlook Skype for Business (formerly Lync) Contacts folder doesn't sync with your Skype for Business contacts as the folder previously did.
Workaround
To work around this issue, you can remove the contacts in the Outlook Skype for Business Contacts folder (but not the Contacts folder itself). To do this, follow these steps.
Note
The steps to remove the contacts in the Contacts folder should only be performed by an administrator. After the following steps are performed, the Contacts folder will remain, but the contacts won't. And the contacts will no longer cause stale information to replicate.
- Download and install MFCMapi from the following Microsoft website: MFCMAPI.
- Close Skype for Business and Microsoft Outlook.
- Open MFCMapi.

Skype for Business makes conducting virtual meetings easier by integrating with Microsoft Outlook. You can schedule a Skype for Business meeting with a single click from within Outlook (2013 or later).
- To begin, select the Calendar option within Outlook.
- Next, select the New Skype Meeting option, located at the top of the screen. A new meeting invitation displays.
- The new meeting invitation that is displayed after selecting the New Skype Meeting option contains Skype meeting information. Outlook has created and inserted Skype for Business meeting information and the corresponding hyperlink to that meeting.
- Populate the blank meeting invitation with the information you would normally include, such as the location, the attendee(s), and a description of the meeting’s purpose.
- When you have finished populating all of the meeting information, select the Send button to send your meeting invitation.
- Additionally, you can access the Meeting Options menu from the top of a blank meeting invitation. This menu provides a few options for controlling Skype for Business options when conducting your meeting.
- You can also select Join Skype Meeting from the top of a blank meeting invitation. When selected, a Skype for Business meeting will immediately launch. You can then invite Skype for Business users from your organization from the meeting window. If you need to invite a non-Skype for Business user, you cannot use the Join Skype Meeting option. You will need to send an invitation to the non-Skype for Business users so that they can connect via an Internet browser plugin.
Repeat these steps for each additional Skype for Business meeting you want to schedule.
