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.
v11.2 [Nov 27, 2014]
Active Task:
- Hyena's 'Active Task' feature, introduced in Hyena v11.0, has been extended to allow mass group updating when adding or updating Active Directory objects. Through the use of flexible templates, group members can now be added easily to new or existing users, computers, contacts, or other groups.
- Added new options to manage task Validation Files, and improved validation file error reporting.
Other Improvements:
- A 'Search and Replace' feature has been added to the 'Active Editor'.
- The 'Active Editor' can now optionally allow data to be processed that contains errors (after user confirmation).
- When removing the last query for a WMI class, the WMI class name is removed from the query list.
- 'Add Domain to View' function modified to only support Active Directory domains.
- Added option to copy EVTX-based events to clipboard.
- Removed the port identifier on the ADsServer field when looking at user properties to prevent errors.
- Prevented the entry of spaces in the "other" directory attributes entry dialog.
- Fixed empty field with the sort indicator when creating new AD queries.
- Allowed showing/skipping inherited file permissions.
- Added additional values to the 'MsExchRecipientDisplayType' values.
- Fixed problem where "Save As" option on template would not enable OK button when clicking on existing template name.
- Enabled the scheduled task and EVTX-based event functions to use the 'Logon As' credentials entered for a computer/server.
Update and Revision History:
- Rev 'F' (February 20, 2015): Changed the behavior of the "View NTFS Permissions" function when executed from the right window on shared objects to use the share path, ie \server\share_name, as a starting base path, instead of starting at the root of the drive and using the administrative share, ie \server\c$\shared_dir. This change will allow use of the permissions function on NetApp and similar file servers that do not support access through an administrative share or where no such administrative share exists.
