New MS Edge sync with work account not working
I am not sure how your opinion is helping here. Many families still use windows server to have a local family domain which does have some good features to control when kids can log into their computers, etc. Even still, it is our opinion and does not help with the new Edge problems. AD accounts should have the ability to sync because some employees have desktop computer and a notebook. Be nice that we can have the same data on both systems.

I wonder why a family would spend so much money on server hardware and server license just to have a basic domain and management capabilities while Microsoft Azure, Microsoft 365 Family plan and Azure Active Directory is there, cheaper and always available without need for dedicated hardware.

Lot of people still prefer to have on-premise machines. As for hardware, a normal computer can be visualized and run standard edition. I know many people still using the older Home Server back from 2001-3.
But still, it is the peoples money and it is up to them what and how they want to spend their money. And this topic has nothing to do with the problem at hand. Why won't the sync work with the new Edge?

I don't care how people spend their money.
the only reason I talked about Windows server is because you mentioned it first.
I'm not sure which Microsoft work account or subscription you are using that is not working with the new Edge?
