Hyena v13.0 Released

Hyena v13.0 has been released and is available in both x86 and x64 versions in English, French, German, and Spanish. Hyena v13.0 is available as a free update if your maintenance expiration date is after May 15, 2018. See the 'Hyena Maintenance' topic below for information on updating and how to check the maintenance expiration date. Any customer which purchased a Hyena v12.7 license is eligible for a free upgrade to v13.0 as well.

Hyena v13.0 can be downloaded from:

Replication View

Hyena's new Active Directory replication view allows for real time and historical viewing of all directory replication information. Available for any Active Directory object, the replication metadata can be used to assist in troubleshooting replication issues, as well as determining which directory attributes have been changed. Options include selecting all or specific domain controllers and which attributes to include in the replication query scope.

Other Changes include:

• Added flexible group attribute symbol method to group members query. Now, any group attribute can be added to group member queries, in addition to the builtin group attribute symbols.

• Added 'Copy <attribute value>' to AD context menus.

• Added images to list view header when filtering was performed on any column.

• Changed 'scheduled jobs' to 'scheduled tasks' for better consistency with Windows terminology.

• Made Unicode the default exporting option for text files.

• Added 'member' and 'memberof' to list of attributes that will display the [...] button on AD query parameters.

• Added validation to the log file field (Tools > Settings > Logging).

• Added error message upon startup to close Hyena when run on Windows NT.

• Added support for modifying Generalized Time/UTC DATE attributes to Active Task.

• Modified method to create GPO report.

• Minor changes to licensing dialogs and added disclaimer for GDPR compliance.

• Worked around NetApp bug on share properties that resulted in NetApp devices being unable to resolve well-known Windows groups such as 'Everyone'.

Hyena v12.7 Updated to 12.7.2 (rev 'C')

Hyena v12.7 has been updated to 12.7.2 (Rev 'C'); this will be the final revision to v12.7. The maintenance cutoff date for using Hyena v12.7 is November 1, 2017.

Updated Privacy Policy

We've updated our privacy policy, including added new clarfications to our policy to address the European GDPR. Our revised privacy policy can be found here, and is always linked to at the bottom of all of our web pages:

Selection Based on External File

Starting with Hyena v12.7, a new method to select items in Hyena's list window was added to the Edit menu, 'Select from File...'.

This option was added to provide for a method to select items in any Hyena view that match (or do not match) a designated column in an input file. For example, one common support inquiry we get is how to 'import' a list of computers. This is often needed when an external computer list has been provided, but you want to take this list and perform some action on it, such as moving these computers into another Active Directory OU, for example. The 'Select from File...' option makes operations like this possible now without having to create custom computer lists.

All Hyena licenses have a built-in maintenance expiration date, which can be displayed under the Tools > Settings > Licensing dialog. The maintenance expiration date determines whether new releases can be installed with the active license. If your maintenance has recently expired or is about to expire, it can be renewed now. For maintenance information and renewal options, visit:

https://www.systemtools.com/hyena/maint_main.htm

If you prefer to get an email quotation on maintenance renewal, send your current license information to sales@systemtools.com and request a maintenance renewal quote. You can easily get the current license information under Hyena's Tools > Settings > Licensing dialog.

If your maintenance expiration date is before May 15, 2018, the upgrade cost is only 50% of the licensing cost, which includes one year of maintenance. Maintenance expirations on or after May 15, 2018 can be renewed now.
