Hyena

Using the built-in Windows administration tools to manage a medium to large Windows 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 client to manage any Windows Server 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 Server mailbox integration, and WMI integration.

Hyena's cost effective licensing policy is based on the number of administrators actually using the product, regardless of the number of end-users or servers.

Hyena does not alter or modify the normal security model of the operating system. Therefore, some functions may require more rights and privileges than others. If Hyena cannot perform a function due to the end-user not having enough rights, then an error will be returned.

Installation of Hyena will not alter the system configuration or install or alter any existing system settings. Hyena consists of a single .exe file (hyena.exe) and does not include any other executable programs or libraries (.dll files). The only .dll files that are included with the install are standard Microsoft DLL files that are used by Windows for the GUI.
