There is a known issue with Lync clients with new Apple OS called Yosemite. The Lync for Microsoft Office 2011 (with Office 365 or Lync on premise) no longer will sign in, the potential fix is listed below.
Primary Symptom: when you attempt to log into Lync, it appears to sign you in just fine, but after briefly displaying your Lync contacts, it immediately signs you out and gives you a generic error message that either the server is unavailable or some unknown error has occured.
Microsoft Lync Mac
Hi - I am having issues logging in to Lync. I recently installed OS X Yosemite 10.10.1 and installed Lync for Mac 14.0.10 (141024) and I have not been able to log in to Lync. Hi All, one of the end user had an issue with Lync installed in Mac, after the Yosemite OS update. Normally, while we search for any user names or any partial names in lync it should display the list of names. But here after the OS update (Yosemite) it was not listing out the names while i am searching for any name.
