Afaicr, Skype for Business (aka Lync) is a completely different codebase / program than Skype.
They rebranded it when they bought Skype because everyone hated Lync so much.
Which... to be fair, Lync is the only application I've known that's dumb enough to repeat failed login attempts with the same incorrect credential until the account is locked.
Found out when I'd rotate my AD password and a box I was remoted into would promptly lock my account by trying to use the old cached auth.
