Hello,

Our users are getting a question mark next to Office 365 profile picture.

What does this question mark means?

Hi Everyone,

Our engineering team is still working on this issue. As I know, the feature of “green question mark” wasn’t fully deployed to all the tenant yet. Currently, we don’t have an ETA for fixing this. Furthermore, once you login to IM in Office 365 OWA or Skype For Business client, there is no problem for others to check your status.

I apologize for any inconvenience caused by this issue again, and do appreciate your patience and understanding.

Best Regards,

Edward

    Hi Lori_M_SATX, JonAlbright and IJustHelping,

    I have read thread the whole thread. From my experience, the green question mark means the web page can’t get the Skype for Business status. To further investigate the issue, I’d like to collect the following information:

    1. The affected domain name. This can help we check SRV record from our side. To protect your privacy, I have sent you a private message to collect the domains.
    2. Sign out the problematic users' Skype for Business desktop client and log into OWA. Check if they can change the status in OWA, Portal and SharePoint.

    Thanks,

    Gary

    It is a bug. Unfortunately, Microsoft hasn't been very forthcoming about any solutions.

    I have a user that does not have a Skype license and still has the ? mark so that is not the cause.

    I opened OWA and Delve,  the status indicator for OWA changes changes with the Skype status but Delve and Sharepoint do not, the question mark remains.  Obviously, this is the Skype status indicator. I did check for our SRV records and they appear to be setup correctly.  I received a message about a week ago that one of them was amiss and ran the provided diagnostic that MS offered to check and correct.  As for number of clients, we have 16 clients and all of them exhibit this issue.
