It appears that there is a bug with the 2011 Lync for OS X client. Domains that aren't engineering and have a trust with us fail to autodetect the correct settings (i.e. lib.uconn.edu and business.uconn.edu are going to have issues on Mac only).
To fix, go to advanced settings at the bottom of the sign in window. Select manual server settings and enter 'sipexternal.engr.uconn.edu' for external server and 'lync.ad.engr.uconn.edu' for internal server settings.
Should connect just fine after that.

Your presence indicates to others your real-time availability by displaying one of a number of different colors next to your name. Lync 2010 automatically sets your presence based on your activity and your Microsoft Outlook calendar. For example, if you step away from your computer for a while, Lync will automatically change your presence to Away (yellow), indicating to others that you are not available for instant messaging, video, etc. Similarly, if your Outlook calendar indicates that you are in a meeting, Lync will automatically set your presence to Busy (red), so that people in your contact list know that you're unavailable.
