Using Hyena with Windows 2000/2003 Domains

To enable Hyena to use Active Directory functions for some operations, the domain type must be set to Windows 2000/2003 in Hyena's Object Manager.  

To add a new/additional Windows 2000/2003 domain, click on Hyena's first toolbar button (Object Manager), then:

• Select the New button

• Select "Windows 2000/2003 Domain" from the Object Type combo box

• Enter in a descriptive name and optional comment.  The name does not have to be the actual Active Directory or Netbios domain name.

• Enter in the ADSI Path to the domain, for example: "LDAP://domainname" or "LDAP://domainname.com".  

• Leave the ADSI Server field blank, or see the Performance section on how to optionally configure this field.

To change an existing domain in Object Manager to a Windows 2000/2003 domain, select the domain in the Object Manager, change the Object Type to Windows 2000/2003 Domain, enter the ADSI Path as outlined above, and then click the Update button.  Use the browse button (...) to help in building the LDAP path for the domain.

When a Windows 2000/2003 domain is expanded in Hyena's left tree window, additional sub-objects are displayed, for example: Containers/OUs, All Groups, and Universal Groups objects.  More specifically, all management of the display of any Active Directory object are now handled entirely by LDAP queries to Active Directory.  

Note: Existing Windows 2000/2003 domains can still be managed and used in Hyena as "Windows NT Domains".  Changing the domain type to "Windows 2000/2003 Domain" only configures Hyena to use the new Active Directory and OU functionality on a given domain.
