To resolve this issue, follow these steps:
  1. Determine whether the user is entitled to use Lync Online.

    Lync Online uses an Active Directory ExtensionAttribute setting to entitle users for service. Which ExtensionAttribute setting your company uses is determined during deployment. If you are not sure whether your company uses an entitlement flag, contact your Subject Matter Expert (SME) or your Microsoft Service Delivery Manager (SDM). The ExtensionAttribute value must be valid for entitlement in compliance with the terms of the Microsoft Managed Solutions Service Provisioning Provider (MMSSPP) Provisioning Interfaces document. This document is available through your Service Delivery Manager (SDM).
  2. Verify that the user is using the correct sign-in address and domain credentials to sign in to Communicator, Lync, or Skype for Business.

    Typically, a user's sign-in address is the same as his or her email address. However, the following exceptions apply:
    • The user's email address suffix differs from the supported Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) domain, as in the following example:

      Supported SIP domain: microsoft.com
      User's email address: joe@contoso.com
      User's Communicator sign-in address: joe@microsoft.com
    • The user does not have a unique mail prefix, as in the following example:

      Supported SIP domain: microsoft.com
      UserA's email address: joe@contoso.com
      UserB's email address: joe@microsoft.com
      UserA's SIP address: joe@microsoft.com
      UserB's SIP address: joe2@microsoft.com

      In this scenario, the first user who is provisioned for Lync Online in the supported SIP domain will receive the standard SIP address. For example, UserA receives the SIP address joe@microsoft.com. However, all successive users who have the same email prefix will receive incremental Communicator SIP addresses. For example, UserB receives the SIP address of joe2@microsoft.com.
  3. If the issue persists after you verify the ExtensionAttribute setting and the SIP address that's being used, contact Microsoft Online Services Support by online submission or by telephone .
