Microsoft has released a second April 2011 CU2 update patch which replaces the previous version 7577.256. The latest April 2011 patch for Lync 2010 is version 7577.275.
It appears this latest patch adds an additional fix for Lync Online.

I ran into an unexpected issue during a migration from OCS 2007 R2 to Lync 2010 and felt it deserved documenting. In the environment, OCS and Lync had been in coexistence for some time, and the decision was made to migrate the voice path from OCS Mediation servers to Lync Mediation servers collocated on the Lync Front End and a Lync SBA. After assigning new Lync Dial Plans and Voice Policies to the users, I started receiving complaints about failed calls from remote users connected through the OCS Edge Server. Certain calls were failing only when connected through the Edge with the error message “Unable to place call. Please check the number and try again“. After a little trial and error it became clear that calls made to E.164 normalized numbers worked fine but calls to non-E.164 normalized numbers were failing consistently.

Microsoft has released Cumulative Update 2 (CU2) for Lync Server 2010. One notable improvement over CU1 is that Microsoft has bundled the Lync Server 2010 updates into an update installer for one stop patching like they did for OCS. This takes the guess work out of patching Lync servers and ensures all components are at the same patch level.
