Move exchange 2003 mailboxes to new exchange 2003 server mailbox

I am trying to replace my PDC with a newer one. I am running exchange2003 on this server as well. Right now i setup the new PCD with a new exhchange install on it. What i am trying to do is move all my user mailboxes from old PDC to new PDC, but i am getting the following error

You do not have permission to log on. The MAPI provider failed. Microsoft Exchange Server Information Store ID no: 8004011d-0519-00000000

have all the correct permisions that i am supposed to have

domain admins
enterprise admin
schema admin
administrator

can someone please help

If you have Exchange Anti-Virus installed then disable it. Also, make sure the first mailbox store in the first storage group is mounted (the one with the System Attendant mailbox). If this isn't mounted then move mailbox will fail. If niether of these work, try turning up diagnostics logging for MSExchangeIS\System\Move mailbox and see if the application log gives you any additional information.

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;822945 - move the whole exchange server by these directions like you would be performing a disaster recovery.

The following is a workaround for the problem you have now. But I would start over from the beginning with the above instructions to get a clean start.

I'm out of ideas. The recovery from backup is the best I have, ie: make a complete backup of the existing Exchange on old PDC and then shut it down. Then restore the entire Exchange onto the new PDC using the steps in the MSFT article above using a clean (patched) install of exchange.
