Hyena provides full support for
Active Directory (AD)
Organizational Units, directory
searching, universal groups,
management of object properties,
security auditing, and other AD
mixed and native mode features.
Due to Hyena's ease-of-use, most
AD environments can be managed
more efficiently and quickly
using Hyena's AD management
functions. Hyena has numerous
features that you won't find in
the standard built-in Microsoft
administration tools.
 
Hyena adds a new Windows 2000
domain object class. When a
Windows 2000 domain is expanded
in Hyena's tree window,
additional sub-objects are
displayed, specifically:
Containers/OUs, All Users, All
Groups, Global Groups, Local
Groups, and Universal Groups
objects. All management of the
display of Active Directory
objects are handled entirely by
LDAP queries to Active
Directory.
Organizational
Units (OUs) are fully supported,
both for browsing OU contents,
as well as for creating new
users, groups, contacts, and
computer objects directly into
an OU. A powerful Find feature
is available for any OU,
allowing selectable criteria for
finding and filtering AD
information. OU properties are
also available, including full
support for management of Group
Policy Object (GPO) information.
 Hyena's
Filtering Toolbar provides for
powerful object filtering when
browsing the contents of any OU,
including traversing into sub-OUs.
Hyena
is the only product that
supports customizable Active
Directory queries at every
object level. Define your own
queries, or use any of the
predefined queries to display
custom "views" of exactly what
directory attributes you want to
see for organizational units,
users, groups, or computers.
Hyena's queries can also contain
a customized LDAP filter, if
desired, for the ultimate in
server-side AD filtering and
query performance.
With
Hyena, you can access and view
any AD attribute, including, the
employee ID and user
photo attributes.
Moreover, you can add your own
custom AD attributes for
managing users.
 Hyena
includes an extensive
ADSIedit-like capability
to manage any Active Directory
attribute for one or more
directory objects. But unlike
ADSI-Edit, Hyena's AD attribute
management dialogs are easy to
use and understand. Plus, you
can define your own attribute
sets to be used over and over
and visually see what the values
are before and after making any
changes.
Hyena
supports the use of the standard
shell property pages for
management of many Active
Directory objects, providing for
full MMC-like
functionality, while
still providing Hyena's
legendary ease-of-use and
navigation. Hyena also supports
the display of the shell context
menu for most directory objects,
providing access to popular
Microsoft functions such as
Exchange Tasks for email-enabled
objects, as well as 3rd-party
shell extensions.
Active
Directory administrators know
how difficult it can be to keep
track of delegated
security rights. Hyena
makes keeping track of this much
easier with Active Directory
Security Listing views : Just
select one or more AD objects,
right click, and select List
Directory Security. Its that
simple.
Hyena
provides access to the standard
Microsoft Active Directory
'Find' dialog, but adds two
important features: The
selection criteria can be saved
for future or external use, and
the objects that are found can
be returned to Hyena for further
management tasks.
Hyena
supports management of
Exchange 5.5 and 200x mailboxes:
mailbox creation, deletion, and
property modification can all be
easily controlled in Hyena's
powerful GUI.
As
always, Hyena's output window,
including any Active Directory
displays, can be easily exported
or integrated into Hyena's
built-in Microsoft Access
database.
