1. Lync Auto discover URL should be in external and internal DNS servers pointing to Lync external web services URL.
2. Lync Auto discover internal URL should be present in your internal DNS server pointing to Lync internal web services URL.

Lync 2010 Blogging
I have recently implemented Lync services in our organization and came across lots of problems mainly due to the guides which Microsoft has published is not clear and have lots of questions unanswered. The only way to do a correct configuration is to to a trial and error and then check if the problem is solved or not or engage Microsoft professional services.
I will be blogging on some of the issues I have faced and resolved for the benefits of other implementers.
