    Can I delete them?

    (ps. sorry about the formatting I can't see how to standardise text size).

    I have 2 x presumably installed by default users =

    <h2>##MS_PolicyEventProcessingLogin##</h2>

    ##MS_PolicyTsqlExecutionLogin##

    They are disabled.

     

    I like to keep a tidy server esp where logins are concerned.  But … I don't want to cause any problems.

     

    <span style="color: #333333;">Advice appreciated.  </span>

    I guess that if you delete them, you will get problems if you try to use Policy Based Management. That is certainly a feature that is not very widely used. However, I would absolutely recommend against dropping any principals that comes with SQL Server. The benefit is miniscule and the problems you could run into are potentially larger.
