[ OK ]
Despite having restarted the Lync application follow by reboot of the machine, the same error appears. It is getting late and you are not able to join the meeting. What can you do?
Workaround
– append ?sl= to the meeting URI to join using the Lync/Skype Web App.
Fix
– first start one of the Office applications like Word to allow setup to complete the final installation steps.

PS C:\Users\administrator> Get-CsUser user01
Get-CsUser : A connection was successfully established with the server, but
then an error occurred during the pre-login handshake. (provider: SSL Provider, error: 0 – The wait operation timed out.)

To resolve, ensure that the host machine has sufficient RAM memory and/or close unneeded running applications. This fix applies even if the Windows operating system appears to be running with adequate memory. Otherwise, a machine reboot may be in order.
