All servers run windows 2008 R2.
I changed the default-first-site-name to a more appropriate name from "active directory sites and services" console.
I did that in my primary DC.
I then restarted the server.And then restarted the second DC.And then restarted the third DC.
The thing is that in dns manager in forward lookup zones at "sites" the "default-first-site-name" is still there.I have two entries.One with "default-first-site-name" and my primary DC is there and one with the "new-site-name" which has the other 2 dcs.
Its been 7 hours since I restarted the servers.No change.When I tested this in a virtual lab with 2 DCs, after 10 minutes everything was OK and both servers belonged to the new site.
Why is this happening?
In "active directory sites and services" console I didn't create a new site.I just renamed the default-first-site-name.Th
Do I have to delete it manually now and move first DC at new-site-name?
What is the safest way to do that?
Should I wait more?

Rename it on PDC emulator and wait a few minutes, then close active directory sites and services console and reopen it.
This is the primary DC.It's not so simple to do that.
But if I need to do that it means that the problem is bigger than I thought.

Everything looks fine in directory sites and services console.In dns console I have the problem.

I noticed the timestamp in entecarray_1 ( my primary DC which is in default-first-site-name) is old.
I will also set scavenging of stale DNS records and I will leave it to default 7 days.

what happens if you force outbound replication from "your primary DC" to the other DCs? (use REPADMIN with /SyncAll)
and in addition what happens if you execute the following on EVERY DC (one line):
NET STOP NETLOGON & NET START NETLOGON
