Remove Domain Audit Data from Reports − Drop Domains

  • “Why is data from an old, removed domain still appearing in tables and reports?”

Overview​

In case a domain was decommissioned or excluded from the monitoring scope, the Netwrix Auditor reports may still contain audit data for the domain. This article lists the steps to implement the Drop Domain task to remove the related domain data from your SQL Server.
