Active Directory Reporting

Built-In Microsoft Access Reports

Hyena's built-in Microsoft Access reporting features have been extended to support exporting of any Active Directory information directly into Microsoft Access tables.

When first run, Hyena will check to see if an older copy of the reporting database (HyenaRpt.MDB) exists, and prompt if it should be renamed, then replaced with the newer version.  In order to use the new Active Directory export/reporting options, the newer version of the reporting database must be used.  To use the new reporting options:

• Display any Active Directory view in Hyena's right list window.  For example, right click on the All Users object for a Windows 200x domain, and select Tabular Views->Users (Detailed General).  

• Then, select Tools->Run Report.

To export the information into an existing Access table, enter the table name of the existing table.  To create a new table, enter the name of the new table to create.   Hyena will then export the information displayed into the selected table and display the table.

Hyena's integration with Exporter Pro can also be used to generate (export) output files.  See the Exporting topic for more information on Exporter Pro.

Reporting on Group Policy Objects

Reporting on Group Policy Object settings is done by using Active Directory functions that are installed by Microsoft's Group Policy Management Console (GPMC).  Select the Create Report... option from the context menu for any group policy object to access the GPMC report options.  Group Policy Objects can be accessed either by searching for them using Hyena's Find option, using the OU filtering toolbar, or by navigating to the Policies container under the System container in the OU structure.

For more information on Microsoft's GPMC, search for "Group Policy Management Console" on Microsoft's web site.
