Hyena 12.5.0

Centralized administration of NT/2000/XP networks. Active Directory supported.

Hyena is a practical addition to your operating system that allows you to manage multiple parameters with minimum effort. It main advantage is the ability to gather all the administrative tools and important system tools in the same interface.

The application is designed for the Windows administrators that need to manage users or devices, to view system logs and have limited time to make the changes. It features an Explorer-like interface that groups the tools in order to easily find the ones required to perform the computer maintenance.

The file manager looks similar to the Windows Explorer but offers the possibility to edit the object security options and to run a set of personalized tools. You can include links to other applications that are not accessible in the Hyena menus by creating custom tools.

The user is able start or stop services and devices without accessing the Computer Management console. The same interface provides access to the applications logs and the security logs generated by the operating system components.

The Registry section allows you to browse the keys and to make modifications in order to fine-tune the computer behavior. You can export certain information and create a report with the accessible data in order to present certain information to your colleagues.

If you need to automate certain tasks you can use the macro feature to enter multiple commands and to save them to text files in order to be executed later. The documentation provided by the developers can help the less experienced users get used to the macro command strings.

Hyena is a useful application designed for quickly managing large networks and for being used by network administrators. Although you can use it for a single computer, you should look for another tool for customizing your PC.
