Couldn't connect to the source mailbox

Hello,

I'm trying to run the migration command for a public folder migration to Office365 and I cannot get this to work no matter what I do. This is an exchange 2007 server that I'm trying to migrate and I'm receiving the below message. I have mailbox databases so I don't need to create those. As far as I know everything is done correctly. Help??

Couldn't connect to the source mailbox.

Hello,

I've followed those technet instructions to a tee. I've probably gone through them 100 times and I'm still getting this message. Wondering if anyone else has had this issue. I've found a few articles about needing a mailbox store on the public folder server and I've already got that.

Any other ideas?

Thanks,
T
