Symptoms

Consider the following scenario:
  • User A is a Microsoft Lync 2010 disabled user. User B is a Lync 2010 enabled user.
  • User A logs in to Windows and tries to log on to Lync 2010 by using the credentials of user B.
  • User A types the credentials of user B incorrectly.
  • User A clicks Sign In.
In this scenario, user A receives the following error message:

Cannot sign in to Lync because this sign-in address was not found. Please verify the sign-in address and try again. If the problem continues, please contact your support team.

Additionally, user A does not receive the credential dialog box to type the credentials again.
This issue also occurs when Kerberos authentication is disabled, even if the credentials of user B are typed correctly.
