Johnson had also discussed in his September post how to connect the Outlook Web App and Outlook 2011 for Mac clients to Office 365. Johnson later acknowledged in an October blog post that "pretty much everyone that tried this was unable to connect Lync 2011 on Mac to Office 365."įortunately, the blunder got filtered through Johnson on the Microsoft Services team, perhaps inadvertently helping to deliver a fix. Readers of that post indicated that the setup steps did not work. The problem with Lync for Mac 2011 got a little extra attention after Neil Johnson, a senior consultant with Microsoft Services, published Microsoft's documentation on connecting Lync for Mac 2011 with Office 365 in a September blog post. It's accessed via the "check for updates" option under the Help menu in Lync for Mac 2011. The update is also available via the Microsoft AutoUpdate for Mac feature in the client application. On Friday, Microsoft released an update to fix that problem, and included a fix for an Office 365 log-in problem. However, users running Lync for Mac 2011 on the latest Mac OS X 10.7.2 "Lion" operating system had been experiencing problems in which the application would inexplicably shut down. It supports connections with Lync 2011 for Mac, which is Microsoft's integrated client combining instant messaging, voice, conferencing and presence, which Microsoft released last month. Office 365 is Microsoft's application suite delivered over the Internet as a service via Microsoft's server farms. Microsoft issued an update today that enables Lync for Mac 2011 to connect to Office 365.
