Possible to have a cloud primary mailbox with an on-prem archive mailbox

azure-active-directoryexchangeexchange-2013exchange-hybridmicrosoft-office-365

I have a customer that wants to migrate their users primary mailboxes from Exchange 2016 to Office 365-Exchange Online but leave their archive mailboxes on-prem.

I haven't been able to decipher what little I've found on this topic into a clear answer. Anyone know for certain whether this is a supported scenario?

To be clear this customer has not yet migrated, when they do they will be syncing AD and in a Hybrid relationship.

Thanks in advance for help!!!

No, it is only possible to do this the other way around.

Options:

  • Your mailbox can be on-prem with an archive on-prem
  • Your mailbox can be on-prem with an archive in Exchange Online
  • Your mailbox can be in Exchange Online and also your archive can be in Exchange Online
