Synergetic Windows Client (SynMain) and Azure AD: Solutions for Authentication Compatibility

The Synergetic Windows client, SynMain (a FAT32 application), relies on Kerberos authentication to communicate with on-premises domain controllers (DC). However, when end-user devices are Azure AD-joined, the SynMain client doesn’t function as expected. This is because Azure AD does not natively support Kerberos authentication.

...

• If modifying the environment is not feasible, consider deploying the FAT32 application on a virtual machine (VM) that remains domain-joined.

• Users can then access this VM through Remote Desktop or a similar solution, ensuring the application functions as it would in an on-prem domain-joined environment.
