Download Hyena 7.0

SystemTools recently released version 7.0 of the Hyena software package. It allows you to manage Windows NT and Windows 2000/2003 networks effortlessly. Due to the many options in the package, you can create, change and delete users and groups, print overviews of all processes running on different NT/2000/2003-based servers, and export network overviews. For an overview of all possibilities, we refer you to this page. The announcement of version 7.0 looks like this:

Improved Active Directory Query Management

The Active Directory query options have been both streamlined and simplified in Hyena v7.0. Queries can now be created or customized more easily, and a new View All Directory Attributes option lets you see all existing AD elements for any object. The ‘View All’ option is convenient for determining the attribute names used by Active Directory.

Custom Active Directory LDAP Filtering

Active Directory has always included a powerful mechanism that supports server-side filtering, but until now this capability was difficult to fully utilize. Hyena now provides an easy method of assigning the LDAP filter from Microsoft’s query builder to Hyena’s Active Directory engine, a combination that provides for a lot of new flexibility and performance improvements. New All Disabled Users and All Contacts default queries have been added which use this new capability and any number of other custom filters can be easily created.

Custom LDAP filters can also be executed at sub-container levels, providing the capability to search multiple directory levels, or even the entire directory at one time.

Microsoft Vista Compatibility

We’ve made a number of minor changes to address compatibility and integration issues with Microsoft Vista and will continue to monitor Vista feedback by our customers.

Other changes:

• Added a Registry Security dialog.
• Improved the Active Directory filtering options (through the AD toolbar) to improve performance and integration with the new query options.
• Added a new column (cn) for the name of the group when displaying group members.
• When a column in Hyena’s results window (right window) has been sorted, the sorted column will be highlighted if a Windows XP manifest file (enabled by default) is being used.
• Improved the performance of reading from a shared settings file stored to a network or WAN location.
• Added capability to enter multiple target computers in the Copy Printers To… option. Also saved previous settings on this dialog.
• Enabled copying (Control-C) of the SID and GUID information on the Object tab of any AD properties page.
• Enabled context and property sheet extensions for Active Directory contact objects.
• Added status bar message when retrieving directory information for multiple objects when using the Manage Directory Attributes function.
• Enabled the Security and List Security options for Active Directory public folder objects.
• Added additional space to the Computer Properties->Software->Properties dialog, and also enabled multi-select on the main computer software listing, so that multiple items can be copied to the clipboard.
