Please check if the Root CA where you have request the certificate for the Lync server is also a trusted root ca on your client. It looks like the client didn't trust the certificate from the Lync server. Regards Holger Technical Specialist UC Proposed as answer bySharon.ShenMonday, May 21, 2012 9:21 AM. Change the Certificate Settings to Fix iTunes Can't Verify the Identity of The Server Mac Many Mac users experienced server verifying errors whenever they launch iTunes. Changing the certificate settings is tested works to fix iTunes can't verify the identity of the server but it will bypass the built-in security for trusting unknown. The current workaround is to export the root certificate from one of the domain machine and import it into the laptop/pc thats not a domain member. When you import the cert, you may get an warning about trusting the cert. Just click accept and install anyways. The problem does not occur on client computers that are running Windows 7 and are in the same domain. You must extend the Active Directory schema for the Validate server certificate option if you configure the option in a domain that has Windows Server 2003-based and Windows Server 2008 R2-based domain controllers. This problem cames out when I try to use another pc to login lync for user. Then the message ' There was a problem verifying the certificate from the server.' So, do anyone have a clue to solve this, or could I export the cert from user's computer then import it into this one?
