Hyena 7.0

Used by tens of thousands of system administrators worldwide for over seven (7) years, Hyena is known throughout the industry as one of the top Windows management utilities.
Using the built-in Windows administration tools to manage a medium to large Windows NT or Windows 2000/2003 network can be a challenge. Add multiple domains, hundreds or thousands of servers, workstations, and users, and before you know it, things can get out of hand. Hyena is designed to both simplify and centralize nearly all of the day-to-day management tasks, while providing new capabilities for system administration. This functionality is provided in a single, centralized, easy to use product. Used today by tens of thousands of system administrators worldwide, Hyena is the one tool that every administrator cannot afford to be without.

Hyena uses an Explorer-style interface for all operations, including right mouse click pop-up context menus for all objects. Management of users, groups (both local and global), shares, domains, computers, services, devices, events, files, printers and print jobs, sessions, open files, disk space, user rights, messaging, exporting, job scheduling, processes, and printing are all supported.

In addition to supporting standard Windows system management functions, Hyena also includes extensive Active Directory integration. In fact, Hyena can be used on any Windows NT/2000/XP/Vista client to manage any Windows NT 3.51, 4.0, Windows 2000, Windows XP, or Windows Server 2003 installation.

Hyena also includes full exporting and Microsoft Access-based reporting options. All of these features are part of the Standard Edition of Hyena. The Enterprise Edition adds support for Terminal Server user properties, Exchange 5.5/2000/2003 Server mailbox integration, and WMI integration.

Hyena v7.0 New Features:
Improved Active Directory Query Management
The Active Directory query options have been both streamlined and simplified in Hyena v7.0. Queries can now be created or customized more easily, and a new View All Directory Attributes option lets you see all existing AD elements for any object. The 'View All' option is convenient for determining the attribute names used by Active Directory.

Custom Active Directory LDAP Filtering
Active Directory has always included a powerful mechanism that supports server-side filtering, but until now this capability was difficult to fully utilize. Hyena now provides an easy method of assigning the LDAP filter from Microsoft's query builder to Hyena's Active Directory engine, a combination that provides for a lot of new flexibility and performance improvements. New All Disabled Users and All Contacts default queries have been added which use this new capability and any number of other custom filters can be easily created.
Custom LDAP filters can also be executed at sub-container levels, providing the capability to search multiple directory levels, or even the entire directory at one time.

Microsoft Vista Compatibility
We've made a number of minor changes to address compatibility and integration issues with Microsoft Vista and will continue to monitor Vista feedback by our customers.

Other Changes:
- Added a Registry Security dialog.
- Improved the Active Directory filtering options (through the AD toolbar) to improvement performance and integration with the new query options.
- Added a new column (cn) for the name of the group when displaying group members.
- When a column in Hyena's results window (right window) has been sorted, the sorted column will be highlighted if a Windows XP manifest file (enabled by default) is being used.
- Improved the performance of reading from a shared settings file stored to a network or WAN location.
- Added capability to enter multiple target computers in the Copy Printers To... option. Also saved previous settings on this dialog.
- Enabled copying (Control-C) of the SID and GUID information on the Object tab of any AD properties page.
- Enabled context and property sheet extensions for Active Directory contact objects.
- Added status bar message when retrieving directory information for multiple objects when using the Manage Directory Attributes function.
- Enabled the Security and List Security options for Active Directory public folder objects.
- Added additional space to the Computer Properties->Software->Properties dialog, and also enabled multi-select on the main computer software listing, so that multiple items can be copied to the clipboard.
