Use SystemTools Hyena software to manage all aspects of Windows System Management and Active Directory environments.
Hyena was the first AD management product to support 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 organisational 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.
Active Directory is a database, and like all databases, being able to perform mass changes is a crucial capability. Any tool can manage object properties one-by-one; Hyena excels at making mass changes to the directory, all in a safe yet powerful manner. Starting with the built in ADSI-Edit like Attribute Manager, Hyena also includes a number of other specialized components for bulk administration:
The 'Active Editor' is a powerful spreadsheet-like directory editor that allows you to freely navigate around and change most common directory elements. Visual indicators show what attributes have been updated, the number of uncommitted changes, data validation, and more. The Active Editor also supports importing data into the Editor from a delimited text file. Changes that are imported are clearly indicated.
Hyena's 'Active Task' component automates the tedious task of mass importing and updating Active Directory, without the need for complex and error-prone Powershell scripts. Take any input file and use it to create or update directory objects quickly and easily. Task settings and options are saved automatically, so repeated updates can be performed with minimal steps. See AD Importing for more information on importing using the Active Task.
Not every organisation can upgrade all its domains all at once. Whether you are using Windows 2008, 2012 or the latest Windows 2016 release, with Hyena you only need one tool, not a confusing array of different snap ins. Hyena allows management of the directory through either the container/OU structure, or by object class: users, groups, or computers. You decide and control how to manage your organisation's directory, not the tool. 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. If Microsoft's optional Group Policy Management Console (GPMC) is installed, Hyena will provide access to both the GPMC interfaces and context menu functions, plus the GPMC reporting
All of Hyena's query results, including all Active Directory displays, can be easily exported directly to external sources, including text files, the Windows clipboard, or Microsoft Excel.
Hyena supports management of any version of Exchange including creating and disabling mailboxes, all in an easy to use and powerful GUI. Manage common Exchange account properties without needing to use another application. Plus, the Exchange Administration tools no longer need to be installed.
