The specified address is not recognized or does not exist

This "Not recognized address" error you're experiencing is generated because of the way shortcut was created. The Lync 2013 client was packaged with the use of Office Customization Tools (OCT) and as such, it created certain hardcoded information that cannot be modified or removed. If you use the Lync desktop shortcut, that error will appear every time. This bug is not fixable by the user, however, a workaround is to use the Start menu shortcut for Lync 2013.
