  • The environment is deployed with the remote access service or with the IT tools that temporarily blocks network traffic for device validation.

Cause

When the computer connects to the network, Lync 2013 tries to download the metadata files immediately. However, the network traffic is not enabled by the IT tools or the remote access service. Therefore, the metadata files fail to download and Lync 2013 caches the failure for several minutes. Therefore, Lync 2013 cannot sign in immediately after the Internet access is enabled.
