This thread has taken a winding road. . .Ryan, have you made any progress on resolving the challenge? If not, have you looked at the logs and does anything stand out in them? Perhaps that is where you are seeing the initial error, but smsts.log would be the first place to look. If you are PXE booting to WinPE, you can get to a command prompt with F8 (if that is enabled on your boot image) and then look at smsts.log in X:\Windows\Temp\SMSTSLog. It will give you an idea of where the system is trying to go for content.
The other thing you mentioned is that this is a migration from 2007. Are all migration jobs complete successfully and everything you expect migrated? I guess also, is the client in question looking at the correct site?
