Active Directory: can "Licensing Site Setting" object safely deleted?
Hi
Over the years our domain has been updated several times (Windows NT-Windows 2000-Windows2003-Windows 2008R2-Windows2019)
As a result, it certainly has objects that are no longer really needed.
For example, in some sites, we have a "Licensing Site Settings" object.
After researching on the Internet, we have only found that earlier (Windows 2000/2003) on the domain controllers had a "License Logging Service" and this object comes from this time.
In Windows 2008 Server and newer, this service ("License Logging Service") has disappeared.
Unfortunately, the "Licensing Site Settings"- objcet still exist in some sites.
Can we delete the "Licensing Site Settings" object without concern?
Thanks in advance.

Silvan Diem Do you delete it? does anyone actually answer your question? this question has been drifted here for years and is a legitimate question.
I have the entry in the Active Directory Sites and Services and I wonder If I just delete it.
Computer and Domain say: invalid.
Silvan DiemDid you ever get an answer to this? I am facing the same situation right now. I am migrating AD from a 2011 SBS box to Server 2016. The SBS box is marked as the role for this but if its not needed I would like to just delete the object completely.
Hi, no i never get any answer on this. but i think i could delete this objects anyway.

I came across this thread, I have the same question and I was curious if you ended up deleting the objects without any issues? I believe I can because under the properties of 'Licensing Site Settings' the Computer and Domain fields say: Invalid and Invalid. Thanks
