I have now three different users that when they click on the https://meet.domain.com/username/VM3423P8 meeting links sent to them or even created by them, it opens up the web client and not the Lync client when joining a meeting. I have tested this on their machines on both Safari and Chrome and the same behavior is seen on both.
If I create an account for them on my Mac and have them try it on my machine, it launches just fine so its an issue with their profiles some how. They have both uninstalled and reinstalled both Lync and Office 2011 and the issue still persists so its got to be an issue with their profile. Does anyone have any hints on what could be causing this issue?
What I have observed as well that troubles me on one of the users (the only one I can see first hand being they are on my local site) is that the page that loads in the browser that launches the popup web client states that the meeting experiance would be better if using a supported browser... the user IS using Safari with all current updates... ?!
