*** This issue has been fixed in CU5 ***
I was recently working with a customer who had just deployed a number of Polycom CX600′s as Lync 2010 Common Area Phones across several branch offices in conference rooms and lobbies. The initial deployment went smoothly and the Common Area Phones were working as expected.
The next Monday morning, I received a call from the customer saying that all of the Common Area Phones were offline, showing the message “Signing in… Cannot sign in. There may be a problem with the server or with your network connection. Please check your network connection. Retrying.”
