I have a sunray client and a windows laptop in my office, both are _64 bit architecture, My work involves switching between sun-ray and my laptop and also copying stuff from sun-ray to windows and vice versa, I did not find any support for sun-ray>windows, sun-ray binaries for synergy. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Sunray clients do not actually run programs. They are thin clients that run a unix shell just to start up the RDP client (which can be any OS the Sunray server is capable of ... Windows, Linux, Solaris, etc). It runs no other services. The applications are actually run on the Sunray server. In order for Synergy to work, it needs to be run on the system that will be using the keyboard/mouse/clipboard of the Synergy server.

I suppose if you can configure an RDP host to work as a Synergy client, you might get it to work. You would basically be setting up a virtual Windows PC (I am assuming Windows. Use the version of Synergy appropriate to your Sunray's OS) on the Sunray server to be a Synergy client to a real PC running the Synergy server. Technically it works, but not stably. In my testing, the mouse pointer disappears, and sometimes gets stuck in the RDP host's screen. You would be much better off to just access the Sunray client's session using an RDP client from the real PC to do the copy/paste work.
