Hyena v8.8 New Features

New Hyena v8.8 Release

Support for new Windows 2.0 Task Scheduler
Hyena v8.8 fully supports the Windows 2.0 task scheduler used by Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008. Options include viewing all scheduled tasks on one or more computers, viewing tasks by folder location, showing running tasks, task termination and more.
Compatible with Windows 7

Hyena v8.8 x64 has met the Microsoft 'Compatible with Windows 7' logo requirements.
As Windows 7 continues to be adopted, Hyena has in turn evolved to both take advantage of Windows 7 capabilities as well as address compatibility issues. Hyena versions 8.0 and later are all time-tested for Windows 7, yet also support running on established Windows operating systems, including Windows XP, Windows 2000/2003 and Windows 2008.

Improved 'Manage Directory Attributes' Capability
Hyena can now modify Active Directory attributes using multiple values from existing directory attributes. Instead of using complex scripts to perform this action, now full or partial values from one or more attributes can be used to update Active Directory.
For example, to change the 'DisplayName' attribute of a user to be the contents of the first name, underscore, then the last name, and with the user having a first name of "Blake" and a last name of "Edwards", use:

%GivenName%_%sn%

...to produce "Blake_Edwards"

To use the first four (4) characters of the last name, use:

%GivenName%_%sn:4%

...to produce "Blake_Edwa"





Enhanced Active Directory User Group Membership View
Active Directory user group memberships now can be viewed more easily, including the capability to view user group membership for multiple users. By using the powerful sorting and exporting capabilities in Hyena, this information can now be quickly and easily managed or reported through Microsoft Excel.
New Advanced Settings
Two new advanced settings have been added, which can be set under Tools->Settings->Advanced.
Re-Enabling RAS (Dialin Tab) for Windows 7
Due to changes made by Microsoft in Windows 7, current release versions of Hyena will forceably disable the RAS (Dialin) properties when viewing the User Properties. This was done to prevent errors when attempting to view or save any dialin settings, since these errors were creating a large number of support incidents. These errors were the result of Microsoft changing Windows 7 system components that essentially disabled the RAS functionality. When used on Windows 7, Microsoft's own Active Directory Users and Computers snapin will also not display any RAS/Dialin settings.
Microsoft may have either addressed these issues, or this may only be a continuing issue when a Windows 7 client is used to manage a pre-Windows 2008 domain. To allow the possibility that some configurations can still be used to manage user dialin settings, the user properties Dialin tab can be re-enabled on a Windows 7 client by setting to true the Advanced setting ForceWindows7RAS. Note that you must still also turn on the option to show user RAS (dialup) information on the Tools->Settings->User dialog. This setting also has no effect on the Shell Properties for a user as these dialogs are still controlled by Microsoft.
If changing this setting, Hyena must be restarted. When enabled, the Hyena user properties dialog will have a Dialin tab. If an error is encountered when trying to view or save the Dialin settings, then the client does not have the right Microsoft support libraries to manage RAS settings. Turning this advanced setting back off will prevent the errors.
Hiding Junction Points
Microsoft uses file system Junction Points (called "Reparse Points") to provide backward compatibility for some Windows folders. These folders are usually pointers to another location and are therefore usually, but not always, inaccessible. Attempts to access the contents will result in 'Access Denied' errors. Hyena will now display these junction points with an alternate icon image, with a shortcut arrow, next to the folder, similar to what is done now in Windows Explorer when run on Windows 2008 or Windows 7. Normally, these directories are hidden by default in Windows Explorer, but they can be displayed by using the View menu options.
Hyena will by default display all system files and folders, including junction points. To turn on or off the option to view these special system pointers on directory displays, use the HideFileReparsePoints setting.





Hyena v8.5 New Features

Exchange 2007/2010 Integration
At last, Hyena now supports basic mailbox functions and Exchange properties administration for Exchange 2010. While the mailbox create/disable functions are only supported on Exchange 2010, the mailbox Properties integration will work on any Active Directory-supported Exchange version, including Exchange 2007. And, although the installation of Powershell is required for Exchange 2010 mailbox creation, the Exchange Administration tools no longer need to be installed.
Exchange 2007 users can immediately start managing user Exchange properties now !

Additional Terminal Services Features
One of the many relatively unknown features in all versions of Windows is the internal inclusion of Terminal Services. Even if Terminal Services is not used or enabled, some capabilities are still present. All Windows versions have what is called a 'console session' which represents the active session that is attached to the monitor, keyboard, and mouse. Hyena can now display only the console sessions for a computer, using either of these methods:Right click on a computer, select Sessions->Console Sessions.Expand a computer in the left window, select Sessions->Console Sessions.To display the console sessions for multiple computers, select the computers in the right window. Once the console sessions are displayed, messages can be sent to them by selecting them from the right window, and selecting Send Message. This method of sending messages does NOT require the messenger service, which is now essentially removed from modern Windows versions.
Remotely Controlling Sessions
The 'Remote Control' feature found in the Microsoft Terminal Services Manager utility (TsAdmin.exe) is now available in Hyena. To remotely control another session, you must first be running Hyena in a remote session. Then, display the Terminal Server sessions for a computer, select the session to remote control, and select Remote Control from the context menu. The behavior and functionality of this feature should be the same as using TsAdmin.exe.

User Image Rules
By default, Hyena will only show a different image for disabled user accounts. Hyena can now be configured to show up to 10 (ten) different images for users depending on different states including disabled, locked, password expiration, and account expiration settings. Moreover, the application of these images can be prioritized depending on the importance you place on them.
For example, if knowing visually that an account is locked out is important, then this 'user image rule' can be placed at the top priority. Or, if accounts that have expired (passed the account expiration date) is important to know, then its image rule can be placed higher in the rule list. Individual rules can be enable/disabled as well.

AD User Query Symbols
While Active Directory contains a great deal of information, often the formatting of some elements leaves a bit to be desired. For example, while the directory (LDAP) path contains the container name where the object is found, it can be difficult to parse out for reporting. Hyena now supports several special symbols that can be placed into its AD queries for showing object container, password age, days until account expiration, and more.
