Known Issues

Latest issues added

Contact Management, including Delegate Management, is not supported on Lync Server 2013 if Unified Contact Store is enabled

Users on Lync Server 2013 cannot modify their contacts list in Skype for Business if a user account is enabled by the Skype for Business administrator for the Unified Contact Store for Exchange. Users can make changes to their contacts list in Outlook.

Skype for Business on Mac fails to sign-in

(Skype for Business Server Online, Exchange Server Online, Identity managed on-premises with ADFS 3.0 and WIA authentication enabled for wiasupporteduseragents-Mozilla/5.0)

Workaround:

Remove “Mozilla/5.0” from the WIASupportedUserAgents parameter in AdfsProperties. Essentially, you will need to:
1. Run Get-AdfsProperties | select wiasupporteduseragents and get the output.
2. Then remove _only_ “Mozilla/5.0” from the output.
3. Then run Set-AdfsProperties -WIASupportedUserAgents with the output from step b.
Revert back to using Lync for Mac 2011.

NOTE: Skype for Business on Mac gets represented by the underlying ADAL library as user agent Mozilla/5.0 (no option to set it from the app), and Windows Integrated Authentication is generally used only for Windows clients and therefore not supported by ADAL library on Mac.

SfB Online / Lync Server / SfB Server Requirements

For best experience SfB Online is recommended for full feature set but for on premises deployments its the following

Skype for Business Server 2015 customers should at a minimum download and install the Skype for Business Server 2015 Cumulative Update version 9319.272 or higher. CU5 is the latest CU for SfB Server 9319.281.
Lync Server 2013 customers should consider upgrading their installation to Skype for Business Server 2015, or downloading the latest Lync Server 2013 Cumulative Update version 8308.974 or higher.
Lync Server 2010 is not supported – instead we recommend customers continue to use the Lync for Mac 2011 client.
