Hi there,

Trying to get Lync 2010 to work on my personal computer which is using Office 2007 apps.  Please see problem description and advise if able.  Thank you in advance!

SETUP:

1. Windows 7 Pro, Service Pack 1

2. 64-bit OS

3. MSFT Outlook 2007, incoming server = POP3 (pop.mail.yahoo.com), outgoing server = SMTP (smtp.mail.yahoo.com)

PROBLEM:

1. When trying to sign in to Lync, just see "Contacting server and signing in...." but sign-in never happens

2. When clicking on "Online Meeting" in Outlook toolbar, get the error message - "Unable to identify the calendar owner.  Please contact your support team."

Hi

Does your company have external access configured on their Lync server deployment? Has your Lync account been assigned the correct permissions to be allowed to sign in remotely?

You will only be able to use Lync meetings in Outlook using your company email account, not Yahoo.

thanks

Hi,

Would you please elaborate your Lync Server environment?

Microsoft Lync Server is an enterprise real-time communications server. The Lync client is used to connect Lync Server. The Lync client is only meant to be used with a Lync Server (hosted in a corporate environment) or an account hosted on Office 365 with Lync functionality enabled. After you doing that you can create a user on Lync Server and login to Lync Server with Lync client.

Best Regards,

Eason Huang
