Hi, I am also having trouble installing SBS 2011 in migration mode. I have read a few of the solutions posted, but none seem to apply.
SBS Error log has this:
Configuring Microsoft Exchange Server
Organization Preparation ... COMPLETED
Preparing Setup ... COMPLETED
Stopping Services ... COMPLETED
Copying Exchange Files ... COMPLETED
Language Files ... COMPLETED
Restoring Services ... COMPLETED
Languages ... COMPLETED
Exchange Management Tools ... COMPLETED
Hub Transport Server Role ... FAILED
Looking in the Exchange setup log I see a successful connection to the old server, then:

followed by multiple service start failures.
Any ideas?
