Possible to delete the CN=Servers container?

Dear Experts,

We currently are running an Exchange 2010 server. This was migrated from SBS 2008, which in turn was migrated from SBS 2003. All works just fine and we experience no problems.

We installed a monitoring system in our network and it complains of a Exchange "MAPI Connectivity" problem when trying to check the health of our public folder database:

"[Microsoft.Exchange.Data.Storage.ObjectNotFoundException]: The Active Directory user cannot be found"

I found a knowledge base article (on our monitoring system's website), which mentions that this could be caused by old fragments left over from an Exchange 2003 migration. It mentions that we should use ADSI Edit and navigate to:

CN=Configuration,DC=yourdomain,DC=local
        CN=Services
              CN=Microsoft Exchange
                   CN=YourOrganizationName
                         CN=Administrative Groups
                                CN=Your Old Exchange 2003 AdministrativeGroupName
                                        CN=Servers

and confirm that the container is empty (which it is). Then we should delete the "CN=Servers" container. We should delete no other Exchange 2003 administrative groups.

Before we go ahead and do this - I just wanted to check with the experts to make sure this is OK. I know that our migration guide mentioned to delete any objects within the "CN=Servers" container (i.e. the old SBS hostname, if it still existed), but not the whole container itself.

Many thanks for your help.

Regards, Oliver
