If the issue persists after you perform these troubleshooting steps, contact Microsoft Office 365 technical support or the Microsoft Office 365 Community forums. In certain cases, the Active Directory Domain Services user account may be incomplete or corrupted. Therefore, Skype for Business Online can't generate a personal certificate. This may not affect all of a tenant's accounts because the effect depends on the state of the server when the user account was created.
To narrow the issue, determine whether the issue occurs for multiple user accounts on the same computer. Then, try to sign in to Skype for Business Online from the same computer by using multiple user accounts. This process indicates whether the problem is related to the configuration of the computer or an issue with the Skype for Business Online user account.
