If Lync for Mac stops working after an Internet connectivity issue, flush the DNS cache
To flush the DNS cache, do one of the following, depending on the version of Mac OS that you're running:
- If you're running Mac OS X 10.5, Mac OS X 10.6, or Mac OS X 10.7 Lion, start Terminal, and then run the following command: dscacheutil -flushcache
- If you're running Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger, start Terminal, and then run the following command: lookupd -flushcache
Clear cached data and corrupted certificates in Lync
First, delete the following folders:
- Users/Home Folder/Library/Caches/com.microsoft.Lync
- Users/Home Folder/Documents/Microsoft User Data/Microsoft Lync History
Then, delete any corrupted or cached certificates. To do this, follow these steps:
Open the Keychain Access certificate management utility. To do this, in Finder, click Applications, click Utilities, and then click Keychain Access. Or, search for Keychain Access by using Spotlight.
In the left pane, click login, and then click Certificates.
In the right pane, find a certificate that's named Unknown or Communications Server, select it, and then delete it.
Note You may have to unlock your keychain by using your password.
Close Keychain Access.
Restart Lync for Mac.
Important
Before you perform the next step, try reproduce the issue by using a new test user account. If the issue doesn't repeat in the new account, then follow these steps:
Open Keychain Access Preferences, and then click Reset My Default Keychain.
Open Finder, locate the following folders, and then delete them:
/Users/Home Folder/Documents/Microsoft User Data/Microsoft Lync Data
/Users/Home Folder/Documents/Microsoft User Data/Microsoft Lync History
Federated users synchronized from on-premises Active Directory Domain Services can't sign in by using a password that's longer than 16 characters
Organizations that have on-premises customer password policies may allow for passwords to exceed 16 characters. By default, the password policy in Office 365 restricts passwords to 16 characters or less. Because of the Windows Challenge/Response (NTLM) authentication mechanism in the Mac OS, passwords that are longer than 16 characters aren't recognized correctly, and this causes sign-in to fail.
To work around this issue, the user should change his or her password to be 16 characters or less.
Lync for Mac crashes and the user receives an EXC_BAD_ACCESS error
This error message usually occurs when Lync for Mac tries to integrate or schedule meetings with an Exchange mailbox that isn't hosted in Exchange Online. This scenario isn't supported in Skype for Business Online. For the best experience, you should use both Skype for Business Online and Exchange Online. However, if that isn't an option, follow these steps as a potential workaround:
Open Finder, locate the following folder, and then delete it:
DocumentsMicrosoft User DataMicrosoft Lync Data
Start Lync for Mac, and then sign in to Skype for Business Online.
On the Lync for Mac menu, click Preferences, click Account, and then clear the Use Microsoft Exchange for managing personal information check box.
