Remove Server from AD Licensing

[Matthew Couper]

A few months ago, a domain controller got corrupted, and the server was
formatted without ever removing the server information from AD.

Since then, all the domain controllers and file servers have been added to
AD (the domain controller's name was changed), and everything is running ok.

However, when looking at the server licensing under the current domain
controller, that old domain controller still appears. Is there any way to
remove it from AD. Note, both the current and previous domain controllers
were both child DCs of the tree.
