Configuring Multiple Domains

 

When Hyena is first started, the domain that the workstation is currently logged into will always be shown and added to the tree window.  If additional domains have been setup in your network, they can be added into Hyena.

 

Note: Adding domains in Hyena does not affect any domain or in any way actually create a new domain, it simply makes the domain available and known to Hyena's functions.

 

To add a domain, use either of the following techniques:

 

1. To simply add a new domain to the view window:

 

Click on the File menu

Select Add Domain...

Enter the name of the domain to add and click OK

Alternately, the Find All Domains button can be clicked to query the network for all domains.  Select the domain(s) to add from the list displayed.  Note that Windows does not distinguish Windows NT or Windows 2000/2003 domains from Windows workgroups.  However, the name of the Primary Domain Controller (PDC) will usually be displayed next to the domain name; workgroups will not have a PDC name displayed next to them.

 

2. To add a domain using the Object Manager:

 

Click on the File menu

Select Manage Object View...

Click the New button

Select Windows NT Domain as the Type of Object

Enter the NetBios name of the domain for the Name of the Object

Optionally, enter a comment for the domain

Optionally, enter the name of a BDC for the Source Controller for the domain.  See the Setting a Source Controller topic for more information.

 

The Object Manager can also be used to put domains and other objects into custom groups.  For more information on using the Object Manager, see the Object Manager topic.  

 

The newly added domain will be permanently added and will be always available until it is removed.

 

To remove a domain from the view, use the Object Manager.  For more information on using the Object Manager, see the Object Manager topic.  

 

Note: Removing domains in Hyena does not affect or in any way actually remove a domain, it simply makes the domain unavailable to Hyena and removes it from the tree view window.
