Please advise, since your configuration data seems not to be complete. There is also a field named Inside User Status, which should not be true in your scenario (users being external). If it is set to True, the Lync client thinks to be internal (probably due to an open VPN tunnel with the office). This would mean it will try to connect to the internal webservices instead of the external one.
ASKER
yes, you are right. i was connnected to VPN.
please find the below lync configuration without VPN and from external device.

Sorry for asking more questions, but is your reverse proxy setup right so that external calls for the addressbook are forwarded to the Lync frontend external webservices port 4443?
Are you using multiple front end enterprise edition servers in a pool? If so, did you setup Hardware load balancers? Are your certificates for the External webservices ok. A few URL's that might help in getting the addressbook isues resolved are:

i dont have public certifcate for external webservices but my other features are working fine.. does address book require public certifcate for external users?
i am not using reverse proxy.. i am using Cisco ASA and doing port forwarding.
