The NoAD mode is an alternative to configuring the SyncTool with Active Directory Group Policy.

To use SyncTool in NoAD mode, you must have installed and configured VMware Dynamic Environment Manager in NoAD mode. SyncTool inherits the NoAD installation settings from VMware Dynamic Environment Manager. You then need to configure general SyncTool settings and network detection settings in the NoAD.xml file that you created while configuring VMware Dynamic Environment Manager. For details about installing and configuring VMware Dynamic Environment Manager in NoAD mode, see Installing and Configuring VMware Dynamic Environment Manager.
