Hyena is an administrative tool for Windows NT, XP, 2000, and 2003 systems. Its principal functions are Active Directory integration; server management; user management; service monitoring and control; event management; job and task scheduling; printer management; disk and file administration and reporting and exporting.
Hyena depends upon the operating system for security and authentication. In the main window the information is split in two fields; on the left side the program displays the information about the local workstation and the domain that it is currently logged in to - these are arranged in a hierarchical tree-styled format with small "plus" icons allowing you to expand the objects. The information about a selected object is displayed in a list on the right side.
The main objects of the left side are: Drives, Local connections, users, local groups, printers, shares, sessions, open files, services, devices, events, disk space, user rights, performance, schedule jobs, registry, and WMI. Right-clicking on an object from the left or right side will display a specific context menu.
Terminal server integration features are only available in the Enterprise Edition. For Windows 2000/2003 domains, Microsoft Administration Tools (AdminPak) are required. The price stated is for a single user; check the "buy URL" for more details.

Update and Revision History
Rev 'B' (June 24, 2014) - Added the EVTX event channel (log) name to the error message when opening the channel so that inaccessible channels could be determined for better troubleshooting.
Rev 'B' (June 24, 2014) - Corrected program crash when attempting to view the GPOs assigned to an OU which had one or more 'inaccessible' policies assigned. Inaccessible policies will be displayed with the name 'inaccessible'. This situation can occur when the policy cannot be opened, usually due to security restrictions on the account running Hyena.
Rev 'B' (June 24, 2014) - Fixed display issue when multiple Exchange 2010/2013 domain server assignment templates were configured.
Rev 'B' (June 24, 2014) - Modified the Active Task function to allow importing and modifying the object class.
