I've just retried with another provision and this time it worked better, 
but not perfectly :
It has change $oldname to $newname everywhere in dn: 
CN=$hostname,OU=Domain Controllers,DC=$DC
But not in "msSFU30MasterServerName" entries of dn like : 
CN=$domain,CN=shadow,CN=ypServ30,CN=RpcServices,CN=System,DC=$dc 
(entries related to rfc2307 i think).
Same thing with "fSMORoleOwner" of dn: CN=RID Manager$,CN=System,DC=$DC
