  5. Apply the settings

    Click Apply and close the windows. The domain is now added to the domain controller.

  6. (optional) for replication to other domain controllers

    If you have multiple domain controllers you can force the replication with the following command in PowerShell / CMD: repadmin /syncall /AdeP

You should now be able to use the new domain name in the Active Directory or in the Exchange Administration Center.
