As soon as you have updated the server, it will start serving the new information. However, it's a pull transfer and relies on the client to ask for it. By the end of your max-lease-time setting, you can guarantee that there are no active leases that we're given with the old settings.
However, I vaguely recall some discussion in the past related to clients that didn't update settings when renewing an active lease. I don't know whether your clients fall into that group.
As already said, manually releasing and then renewing the lease at the client end should do it. Or just wait...
A brute force method would be to change your IP range and force clients to get a new lease. Add a new range, set the old one to "deny booting", and then tne server will Nack any renewal requests for the old addresses. This will break all existing connections.
