Dreaded access is denied error

[pickledsanguine]

Hello.

I'm trying to do a P2V from a Windows Server 2008 R2 physical host to a Windows Server 2019 Hyper-V host.

Whenever I try to connect, I get this error:

Access is denied 0x80070005

I know the 0x error is a DCOM error so I checked that and confirmed that all settings for the DCOM are where they should be -- I even turned them down a bit but the error persists.

I added the Admnistrator user to the DCOM group in lusrmgr.msc as well as to Hyper-V and other admin groups but the issue persists.

I created a new account and gave it all the needed admin groups but the issue persists.

I confirmed that the C$ share is accessible from the 2008 host.

I've confirmed that all Hyper-V features are currently installed.

I'm really stuck on where else to proceed.

Here is the log from today's attempts:

I wanted to post the log but apparently I can't since it says that it "Contacts contacts."

Here's the important part:
