Using the built-in Windows administration tools to manage a medium to large Windows NT or Windows 2000 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 NT system management functions, Hyena also includes extensive Active Directory integration.

In fact, Hyena can be used on any Windows NT/2000/XP client to manage any Windows NT 3.51, 4.0, Windows 2000, Windows XP, or Windows.Net installation.

Here are some key features of "Hyena":

· Create, modify, delete, and view users, groups, and group membership
· Modify single or multiple user properties, including terminal server and Exchange mailbox settings
· Automatically create home directory and home shares for users, including full security configuration
· Export delimited text files of users, groups, printers, computers, group members, services, scheduled tasks, disk space, registry, and Active Directory information for your entire network.
· Browse all server shares, copy and delete files without drive mappings
· View events, sessions, shares, processes, and open files for any server
· View and control services and drivers for one or more computers
· Manage share and file permissions, including creating new shares and viewing all share access rights at the same time
· Remotely schedule, delete, and manage jobs for multiple computers at the same time
· Remotely shutdown and reboot any single or group of computers
· View remaining disk space for multiple computers at the same time
· And more...


Limitations:

· Trial versions of Hyena are available for use for 30-days from the date of installation. The registration dialog (displayed each time that a non-registered copy of Hyena is run) will show how many days remain within the trial period. After the 30-day trial is completed, continued use of Hyena requires registration.
