Hyena Technical-Training

Hyena is the tool to use instead of the built-in Windows administration tools to manage a medium to large Windows NT or Windows 2000 / 2003 network, which can be a quite 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 inb Hyena is provided in a single, centralized, easy to use product. Used today by more than 300.000 system administrators worldwide, Hyena is the one tool that every administrator cannot afford to be without.

Exporter Pro is included with Hyena and is a standalone component of Hyena that supports the creation of exported delimited text output files of:

• Computers
• Users
• Groups
• Printers
• Shares
• Services
