Ive received word from a couple users that installed the new Skype for Business Mac Client that they are unable to retrieve calendar data. The prompt for credentials keeps appearing.
SfB client (16.0.3638) and Outlook 15.28. They've tried domain userid as well as sip address for signin.neither have worked. I did confirm that they've completely removed the Lync for Mac client and re-installing the SfB client.
These user's were part of the SkypePreview for the SfB Mac client. Is there a known bug/issue preventing the Outlook Mac/SfB Mac integration? I assume that those users have never gotten meeting/calendar to work in SFB Mac during the preview program. SFB Mac will use the same SIP address and credential to log into Exchange (Exchange Web Services) to access the calendar.
If you plan to reinstall Skype for Business on Mac later, you can download the program.
