Add a new group named "Sales". Copy the "Returns" group from the older server to the new one.

Rename the "Returns" group to "Revenue". View all group members, including for multiple groups/entire domain.

Wait, can you really manage all group members with Hyena? Sounds too good to be true.

Viewing all group members sounds like something Hyena can do, especially for multiple groups, but I need to double-check if it covers the entire domain too.

Adding a new group like "Sales" seems straightforward, but I wonder if it needs to be linked to AD first.

I practiced a similar question where we had to rename groups, and I feel like Hyena should allow that, but I can't recall the exact steps.

I think I remember that Hyena can help with copying groups, but I'm not sure if it can do that for a server that's not linked to Active Directory yet.

I'm a bit concerned about the new server not being linked to Active Directory. I'll need to research the proper way to integrate it before attempting any of these changes. But I think I can figure it out with Hyena's help.

Okay, let's see. I can definitely add the new "Sales" group and copy the "Returns" group over. Renaming the "Returns" group to "Revenue" should be easy too. Viewing all the group members might be the trickiest part, but Hyena should make that straightforward.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about the new server not being linked to Active Directory yet. I'll need to double-check the steps to properly integrate it before making any changes.

I bet the person who wrote this question is a real 'Returns' on investment kind of guy. But hey, at least we get to play with Hyena, that's always fun!
