If you want to have a play with the new Windows Phone client (WP7) for Lync then Microsoft haven’t quite setup the DNS records yet (or they are still propagating round the internet). Not to worry you can force it by manually specifying some URL’s…
(If your using your own domain with O365 or on one of the higher plans check these guides… Set up Lync mobile devices and Set up your network for Lync Online or my guides here for “on-premise” deployments
- Start the Lync mobile client
- Enter your username as: <name>@<domain>.onmicrosoft.com
- Enter your password
- Specify a username in the same format: <name>@<domain>.onmicrosoft.com
- Toggle the “Auto-detect services” & enter the following as the “External Discovery URL”
https://meet.lync.com/Autodiscover/autodiscoverservice.svc/Root Chances are you’ll never be “internal” to the Office 365 network so we can probably leave the internal one clear for now..!- It looks like some clients throw a wobbler if you don’t give them an “internal URL” too, so just repeat the process for the Internal Discovery URL
You should now be able to connect & enjoy having a play around.
Thanks to @richfrombechtle for giving it a test…

Hi,
What plan are you on? are you using a vanity domain?
Ben
Not sure what is a vanity domain.. i’m using Lync 2010 at office and it works fine on the desktop.. it also has a web version at https://ocsweb.xxx.com which is working fine too..
I have a full internet plan with my carrier and have also tried using wifi.. Using Lumia 800 as a handset
By vanity domain I mean using your own domain rather than something.onmicrosoft.com.
Have a read of this – http://community.office365.com/en-us/w/lync/1040.aspx you might need to add some DNS entries if you manage the domains DNS yourself or this http://community.office365.com/en-us/b/office_365_technical_blog/archive/2011/12/19/update-lync-mobile-device-sign-in-and-troubleshooting.aspx might help too?
It works.
How the hell has invented this simple address?
https://meet.lync.com/Autodiscover/autodiscoverservice.svc/Root
This was not in Lync Mobile quick instruction and took some time to find it from here.
Why not but this address as default or pull down option?
Thanks, it worked! 🙂
