Skype for Business should use proxy server to sign in instead of trying direct connection

View products that this article applies to.

Symptoms

Microsoft Skype for Business 2015 (Lync 2013) first tries direct connection for the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) traffic. After it gets time-out, the client will use the proxy server. This causes noticeable delays when you sign in the client.
