I've been using Hyena for about 1 1/2 years. I, and my co-workers, use it religiously, to the point it's our primary tools for Network Administration.
In my endeavor to make my job (and the ones around me) easier, Hyena tools is the way to go. Automate everything, I say.
So, here goes. I'm going to post a tool and it's corresponding script (and instructions for installation, if need be) to this forum, because I think the Hyena users would get the most out of these. Some of these (you might think) are crap. Maybe so, but they work!
I encourage all who read this to do the same, and post your tools/scripts. I bet it won't take long for this topic to grow with useful stuff!!
I will ask this:
If you have a script that does basically the same thing, just suggest the changes, don't repost the whole thing with your "adjustments" (unless, of course, you see a major flaw in the script).
Actually, I'll start this out with configuration:
Most of you know you should have a repository for your tools/scripts/support files when dealing with Hyena tools.
I also have a batch file that installs the support files and registry entries:
"Install Custom Hyena Tool.bat"
---------------------
@echo off
echo.
echo Registering the form OCX...
copy "\\server\Hyena\wshLWF\wshLWForm.ocx" %systemroot%\System32
regsvr32 /s %systemroot%\System32\wshLWForm.ocx
echo.
echo Registering the Remote Registry control
copy "\\server\Hyena\RegObji\REGOBJ.DLL" %systemroot%\System32
regsvr32 /s %systemroot%\System32\REGOBJ.DLL
echo.
echo Adding Registy keys...
echo You may receive a message if unsuccessful.
echo.
regedit.exe /s "\\server\Hyena\Custom Tools.reg
--------------------------
This installs the OCX required for some of my scripts, registers the remote registry object (now made a bit redundant thanks to Hyena 5) and installs a reg file created from this link:
The OCX comes from the kick-butt liteweight form module created by Mr. Warrington. Download the package from here:
As for the RegObj.DLL ? Direct from Mothership Microsoft:
Tomorrow is Valentine's Day (and my 10 year anniversary!!!), and Monday's President's Day. So hopefully I'll post my first tool on Tuesday.
Until then!!

P.S. Since I forgot, I better say it up here and later in this topic:
Some other tools that I use come from SysInternals (http://www.sysinternals.com) and their AWESOME package of PSTools. If you don't know what they are, hit their site and readup!
Place the PSTools in an accessible directory (with appropriate NTFS permissions, of course, since these tools can be dangerous in the wrong/corrupt hands), and ensure you change the script/tool to match.
