Active Directory Cleanup

[Bankesy]

Hello

 

As we are migrating to a new 2012 server I thought I would delete any unnecessary OUs and objects but don't want to remove anything vital.

 

I came across a container called MOMLatencyMonitors and in it is another container called SERVERX which is empty.

 

Is it safe to delete the SERVERX and MOMLatencyMonitors containers? Perhaps if somebody could tell me what MOMLatencyMonitor is?

 

Thank you

Just a tip, migrate to 2012, turn on the AD recycle bin and then clean up. You can restore stuff easy then.

MOMLatencyMonitors is related to Microsoft Operations Manager and as the name imply's its around latency monitoring. MOM = System Centre Operations Manager.

I'd suggest following FN-GM's advice first, but it sounds like you'll be ok assuming you're using up-to-date SCCM/SCOM installs
