Exchange 2003 To 2010 Migration - Errors when moving mailboxes

I am upgrading/migrating a client from Exchange 2003 to 2010.  I am currently doing so in a QA environment. I installed 2010 on a new server (VM) and am ready to move the mailboxes from the 2003 server to the 2010 however I receive an error.  Keep in mind I also recently performed a domain rename in the QA environment.  The old domain is Elizabeth and the new domain name is ABC.local

So below you will see the error when i attempt to move a mailbox to the new server.  And I think I see the problem.  
If you scroll about halfway down you will see the reference to the current Exchange 2003 server EXSRVRMAIL03.ELIZABETH.  However.....Elizabeth is our old SLD domain.  Before I began the Exchange 2010 migration process I renamed their old single lable domain Elizabeth to a new domain ABC.local
Not sure where this is being pulled from as the rename ws successfull..

Is the same going be be performed in the Live environment ?
DId you try moving mailbox with a DC switch ?

The current FQDN's are
old 2003 server:  EXSRVRMAIL03.ABC.LOCAL
new 2010 server:  EXSRVRMAIL10.ABC.LOCAL

Yes the same will be happening in Production once I can complete this task in QA...
No, I have not tried mocing the mailboxes with a DC switch. I am willing to but I am not sure what that switch would be...

I am looking at ADSI on the default domain controller and I can't find the path to:
"go to configuration partition, expand services console, Microsoft Exchange, Your Organization, Admin Groups, Exchange 2003 Admin Group, Servers,"

I have looked all through it...this is a Server 2008 domain if that helps...
Check the NewtworkName attribute on the server properties  ...... does any of the Attributes of both servers point to the old domain ?

Is there any other DC as well ?
What is the Logon server for Exchange ?
What is the Domain of the servers when you type in Set in CMD

- Rancy
Domain controller wont be visible in Config Partition its just for Exchange servers .... please go to Domain Partition and to the OU where you have Domain controller as same as ADUC :)

- Rancy
Check the following screenshot to open configuration partition
