Exchange 2003 to 2010 transition...need help soon!

jamesp1983

I work for a company who does consulting for other companies. We do everything from electrical work to full network design and implementations and everything in between. I was assigned a project to transition an Exchange 2003 domain to Exchange 2010 by this coming Monday. I've done a lot of reading on the subject. Setup /preparelegacyexchangepermissions and /prepareschema complete without issue. I even used ADSIEdit to confirm the schema had been updated. All of the prereqs have been met, but the install just keeps hanging during the setup /preparead step. It reaches 26% and just sits there. I checked the ExchangeSetup log and the event logs. The application log contains events from cmdlets. My account is Enterprise Admin and Schema Admin. Any ideas? Something I might have missed?
