Lync For Mac Manual Configuration
No have no issue in saving the correct autodiscover url in manual configuration. Using the manual configuration with the url format for mobility however in my opinion based on Microsoft's blurb will not work if you have the latest Nov 2016 Cumulative Update - with this update is it the case the Mac client will be treated as a desktop client. 1)Once you have downloaded Lync for Mac 2011 from the Control Panel to your desktop, double-click on it. 2)Double-click on the Lync Installer. 3)Click on Continue. 4)Click on Continue. Under Advanced select Manual configuration. Specify the server name, which you can find in HostPilot Services Skype For Business Instructions. Internal server and external server should be the same. Make sure that TLS is selected for Connect using. Important: Mac users will not be able to utilize Lync for Mac video conferencing. . This article works for all versions of Skype for Business and Lync clients. You might want to configure Lync clients manually to connect to Lync Online if you don't have an SRV record published or unable to reslove for some reason.
With valid credentials that work on a Windows Lync client, I am able to log in, but not using Mac Lync 2011. The error I get is that credentials are invalid.
