Letztes Änderungsdatum des Themas: 2016-12-08

Issue: The default security setting on Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows Server 2012 operating systems for NTLM SSP requires 128-bit encryption. If Lync client is being used on a computer not set to use 128-but encryption, users will be unable to join online meetings. The client computer must have NTLM Authentication set to No Minimum to successfully join meetings.

Description of the Issue

Depending on the client operating system mix in the enterprise, you may have to reduce this setting on a Windows Server 2008 R2 or Windows Server 2012 operating systems that are running Lync Server as a down level operating system.

For a Windows 7 operating system, the default value is set to "Requires 128-bit encryption."
