So, your suggestion is, create a copy of the DNS zone domain.com in our internal DNS and create a SRV Record?

Thanks, I’ll try that..

If the clients are only internal, and you have control over internal DNS, you could try to create a split-brain DNS where you add the SRV records as their own zone in the internal DNS, like it's done in this <a href="http://blogs.technet.com/b/dougl/archive/2009/06/12/communicator-automatic-configuration-and-split-brain-dns.aspx" rel="nofollow">post</a>, only you add the SRVs for autodiscover instead of sipinternaltls.

Lync will always search in the domain.com zone and not in the domain.local zone for a SRV record. When I change the default SMTP Address of the user in Exchange (set as reply) to user@domain.local, then Lync will search in the domain.local zone and finds a SRV record pointing to the Exchange. In this situation EWS is working. But, i don't want to change the default SMTP address to user@domain.local... Hi Tom,

What you could try to do is to set the DisableEmailComparisonCheck to $true on the users Client Policy: <code>Set-CsClientPolicy -Identity RedmondClientPolicy -DisableEmailComparisonCheck $true</code> That should make the Lync client assume that the running outlook profile is the users without running the check (link to <a href="http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg398300.aspx" rel="nofollow">technet doc</a>. Also remember to change the Policy name to one that affects the users.) However if you are able to change the SIP address of the users to equal your SMTP domain, that would be a much better solution and also make your deployment best practice. Hi AN

I just installed a Lync Server (not upgraded). Unfortunately, EWS is not working. The Lync Client tells me "EWS not deployed". So I installed Microsoft Network Monitor and start a trace. I found out that the Lync Client search for a SRV record in the DNS zone of the default SMTP domain from the user. Our SMTP domain has no SRV record and we can't add them because our provider doesn't support SRV records. Our default SIP domein is domain.local. Can I force the Lync-client to search in the zone domain.local for a SRV Record? Hi,
