1. Click Start.

2. Type eventvwr.msc and press Enter to open the Event Viewer Microsoft Management Console.

3. Expand the Applications and Services Logs folder.

4. Click the Lync Server log.

5. Examine the log like shown in Figure 9.10 for any warning or error events that might provide additional insight into any issues.
