Using the built-in Windows administration tools to manage a medium to large Windows can be a 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 a software that allows you manage networks.
This functionality is provided in a single, centralized, easy to use product. Used today by tens of thousands of system administrators worldwide, Hyena is the one tool that every administrator cannot afford to be without.

What's New in This Release:
· User Communication Portal
· The User Communication Portal is a new option available for Active Directory users.
· The Communication Portal queries the known Active Directory attributes that are related to email, phone, and web addresses and displays the values. Templates can then be created for email and phone contacts, or web addresses can be visited directly. The email communication uses the mailto:: protocol. This protocol supports specifying default values for the subject, cc:, bcc:, and message body of the email. These are all optional values and are stored into the template. By creating multiple templates, a different message type can be configured for different purposes, ie a scheduled system shutdown, company announcement, etc.
· The calling communication uses the callto:: protocol. This protocol uses a number of parameters and settings, and can be used with NetMeeting, Skype, and other communication systems.
· New Update Check Utility
· Hyena's older 'Check for Updates'...
