Skype for Business is working for me with external connections. I just checked 
my external DNS and it is essentially set up the same way you have listed. I 
also put those entries into my internal DNS just to make sure everything is 
consistent but I don’t know if that matters.

I would check if your client has external sharing turned on in the Admin portal.

1.       Go to https://portal.office.com

2.       At the bottom of the left hand side you should go to ADMIN > Skype for 
Business

3.       Select “Organization” from the left side.

4.       Select the “external communications” tab.

5.       I have “external access” set to “On except for blocked domains” and 
the “pubic IM connectivity” box checked.

If that is set correctly, the next place you should go is 
https://testconnectivity.microsoft.com which has a bunch of tests to make sure 
Office 365 is setup correctly.

I have an SRV record with them for Exchange Auto Discover, which may not help 
you much. I set it up a long time ago, but it works.

When you do a lookup on the SRV record outside of the domain, you at least can 
resolve the name, right? Are the clients inside the domain using DNS servers 
that are different than what is public? I’m not clear on that.

My settings are essentially the same as yours except that for some reason my 
TTL is 1440 and both weight and priority are 0, but I don’t think that would 
matter.

Subject: [NTSysADM] DynDNS & Skype for Business?

Has anyone successfully set up SRV records in DynDNS for Skype for Business?  
Every other DNS record is working correctly for me right now EXCEPT the SRV 
record for Skype for Business.  All the Google-fu-ing I’ve done has lead me to 
do the following:

The black lines are to hide my client’s domain.  I have a ticket in with DynDNS 
as well.  The weird part about all of this?  I can sign a client in and the 
presence is noted (green, red, yellow, etc.) to the clients inside the domain, 
however clients outside the domain cannot see the presence.
Super confused…wondering if anyone can help!
Thanks.
