Hi Peter,
I used this solution below and my MBP back to login in my Lync server:
Since I updated my Mac to OSX Yosemite, I can't log in to Microsoft Lync (14.0.9). The program keeps trying to connect, then connects for a second and disconnects back. This doing in an infinite loop. Changing the language on my computer to 'English' resolves the problem. Question: Q: Microsoft Lync 2011 and macOS Sierra I am posting this message in case others encounter a similar problem. After upgrading my Macbook Pro to the new macOS Sierra (v10.12), the Microsoft Lync 2011 client (v14.4.1) had a problem when attempting to connect with credentials for one of.
This Fixed My issue, I make sure you always allow the trust in the last step.
To resolve the 'Sign in to Microsoft Lync failed because the service is not available or you may not be connected to the Internet.' you need to reimport your Lync server certificate.
Ask your system administrator of the Lync server to export the server certificate and provide to you:
- Log into Lync server
- Open MMC > Add/Remove Snap-in > Select Certificates > Click Add > Select Computer account > Click Next > Local computer > Finish > OK
- Expand Certificates > Personal > Certificates
- Click on the certificate with the fully qualified domain name (i.e. Lyncserver.xyz.com) with the intended purpose 'Server Authentication'
Lync For Mac Os Sierra Os
- Right click > All Tasks > Export > Next > No, do not export the private key > Select Base-64 encoded X.509 (.CER) > Next > Give it a name (fully qualified domain name) > Next > Finish
Once provided with the .cer file, exit Lync on your Mac, double click the .cer file to import it into your keychain. Once imported, double click the certificate in Keychain and in the Trust section change 'When using this certificate' to 'Always Trust'.
Start Lync back up, and you should be able to log in.

I’m pleased to say that we’ve just released our latest update to Lync for Mac, and it is available for download on Microsoft Support. This release adds new two features; Media Resiliency and Conversation History, as well as additional support for Apple OS X Yosemite.
Media Resiliency
No network is perfect, of course, and we all want the best possible experience when hiccups happen. This update adds Media Resiliency for peer-to-peer calls and Lync Meetings, which does two important things. First, if a network disconnect occurs, Lync for Mac will now automatically rejoin a meeting or reconnect a peer-to-peer call as long as network connectivity is re-established within 30 seconds.
Microsoft Lync Mac
(Try it for yourself. Setup a Lync video call on your Mac. Quickly disconnect and reconnect your network cable, or disable and re-enable your wireless connection. You’ll see the video freeze when the network drops and then re-start once connection is re-established.)
Second, Lync for Mac will now maintain the media connection for peer-to-peer calls if connectivity is lost to Lync Server or Lync Online. This lets voice calls continue even when presence information is no longer available.
Conversation History
Lync For Mac Os Sierra 10.12

Older versions of Lync for Mac store a record of Lync conversations locally on the Mac, but not in Exchange. With this update, we’ve added two things to improve conversation history for both Mac users and company administrators. The option to store conversation history in Exchange, as well as locally, and a new Conversation History tab in the Lync for Mac client, shown below. Using Exchange allows us to propagate a user’s conversation history across multiple devices; enabling, for example, a person with more than one Mac to revisit all their conversations on either Mac—rather than seeing only the local conversations. In addition, archival in Exchange simplifies eDiscovery and other compliance tasks for administrators.
OS X Yosemite support
In the last two years Apple has released three new versions of OS X: Mountain Lion, Mavericks and just last week Yosemite. Each time, we tested and released a new Lync for Mac client. This time is no different since the current release of the client supports the new OS X Yosemite .
Lync For Mac 2011
Full information about this release is available at the Microsoft Knowledge-Base. It’s a cumulative release that builds on our 10 prior updates to Lync for Mac over the last two years. In this time, we’ve added a number of important capabilities, including:
- Dynamic video camera selection during calls.
- USB peripheral devices support, including headsets, speakerphones and cameras.
- E-911 and Location Awareness, as described in this blog post.
- Higher compression rate (~10x) for desktop sharing, to reduce bandwidth and latency.
- Better control and management of delegation for boss/admin scenarios.
- Better integration with Office 365, including configuration auto discovery and visibility of Audio Conferencing Provider callers in the Lync Meeting roster.
- Quality Of Experience (QOE) reporting to the server or Office 365 after each call.
- Enabling better control and management for boss/admin scenarios.
Even with these improvements, we know we have more work to do to delight Mac users. We plan to continue our regular updates and look forward to your feedback. Keep it coming!
