How do I get rid of phantom users and computers?

[Guest]

In licensing I keep running out of licenses for server, Exchange, etc. When I
chek the users/computers, there are people listed as taking up licenses who
have not worked here in many years (in the case of computers were rebuilt
years ago). Does anyone know why they would still show up? They are not in
ADUC and have not been there for years. How can I get rid of them so
licensing does not pick them up? I'm assuming that they are in AD and that
is why they are showing up in licensing applet.

All help would be really appreciated.

The license logging service does not work as expected. It is not needed and
is an after-though add-on put there solely to help the administrator.
Problem is, it didn't work in the NT 4.0 days, it didn't work in the Win 2k
days and it doesn't work in the Win 2k3 days.

Stop and disable the license logging service and keep track of your licenses
manually as if in per seat mode.
