KMS question (Mistakenly activated multiple KMS servers)

I recently made the mistake of activating 3 of my domain controllers with my KMS key.  After I realized this, I ran the slmgr -upk and slmgr -rearm command on the two that I wanted to activate with the KMS server instead, and this worked fine.

However, now both of these servers warn that this copy of Windows is not genuine, and do not seem to be making any attempt to contact my KMS server.  Is there a command to issue an activation request?

I should've also mentioned all three domain controllers are running Windows Server 2008 R2 Std.

Thanks up, I'm giving it a shot right now.
Looks like both servers are sending activation requests and are working fine after the upgrade.  Thank you man!!
Even though there may be an easier way, this was easy enough!  Thank you!
I'm really glad I could help you out with that! That KMS business is a nightmare!
