I use Skype for business on the Mac just fine with the Lync client; messaging “recommends” 32-bit for full plug-in functionality. _______________________________________________ Ashley Shillinger Systems & Network Administrator Research Technology Support Facility & Great Lakes Bioenergy Research Center Michigan State University Food Safety & Toxicology Building 1129 Farm Lane 165C East Lansing, MI 48824 T: 517-353-6794 F: 517-355-6758 E: [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> _______________________________________________ From: "Bosman, Don" <[log in to unmask]> Reply-To: "Bosman, Don" <[log in to unmask]> Date: Monday, February 13, 2017 at 11:10 AM To: "[log in to unmask]" <[log in to unmask]> Subject: Re: [MSUNAG] 64 BIT UPGRADE PACK - Re: [MSUNAG] office 2016 and macos sierra - people still having issues? Well, that means MAC users won’t be able to use the campus Skype as the messaging team is only supporting 32 Office 2016.

In order to run OFFICE 2016 on Sierra you have to download the 64 bit package. 32 bit Office 2016 no longer works on Sierra. After you do that you will be good to go.

You might want to try the new web interface. **************************************************************** Good morning, Just a heads up that Innovative released a web based Sierra that is equivalent to what the java client is. The web interface can be accessed from a web browser via VPN if off the campus. Using the same login for Sierra java client. To access it, go to http://magic.msu.edu/sierra/sierraweb We are still working on a plan to test and make sure if all is working as its java client counterpart. But I want to give you a heads up that we may have an alternative to the java client finally, as the web interface uses ajax but not java applets. Stay tuned.

I'm just kinda curious whether everyone else that has users running Sierra on a Mac is still having problems with Office 2016 not working for them? So far, as far as I can tell the combination still seems to be something of a mess, and I'm just shocked that between MS and Apple they haven't managed to get this working adequately. For us, it seems that if the Mac was running Sierra before office was installed, what we end up with afterwards is typically at least some of the office programs crashing immediately after you try starting them. I've tried updating everything to the latest patches, and even tried the fast-track updates for office since I've seen that suggested by a number of people, and pretty consistently have no luck getting it to function properly. Oddly, if office 2016 was installed before the mac upgraded to Sierrra, we seem to have more luck with that. I've got a couple of people where that happened, and Office 2016 seems to work ok for them. Gary
