Для выполнения любых операций приложение использует пользовательский интерфейс в стиле «проводника» Windows, с удобным всплывающим контекстным меню, вызываемом нажатием на правую кнопку мыши. Администраторам предоставляются возможности управления пользователями, локальными и доменными группами, общими папками, доменами, компьютерами, службами, драйверами устройств, событиями, файлами и каталогами, принтерами и заданиями печати, пользовательскими сеансами и открытыми файлами, дисковыми ресурсами и правами доступа. Hyena также предлагает средства для отправки сообщений пользователям, назначения заданий, управления процессами. Помимо стандартных средств управления, программа Hyena предлагает тесную интеграцию с службой каталогов Active Directory.

Group Policy Links View

• Hyena's new Group Policy Links view can be used to display information on all GPOs linked to one or more organization units, including listing the number of policies, policy order, status, and WMI filtering information.
  
• While the GPMC can be used to get this same information, its limited to only showing GPO links for a single organizational unit. Hyena's GPO link view can display this information for any number of OUs at the same time.

Active Directory Statistics View

• The new 'Active Stats' view in Hyena makes it easy to display the total number and type of objects contained in one or more selected containers and organizational units. The 'Stats' view can show the number of objects for each object class or selected object classes.
  
• Other options include sub-level searching, optional indentation for sub-containers, skipping disabled users or computers, and showing individual group types.
