Migrate a mailbox without the archive in a hybrid deployment

Hi All,

i have an Exchange 2013 hybrid deployment, and i have users with big archive mailboxes, i was trying to migrate the primary mailbox only using the script in the below URL but i receieved this error.

Cannot execute this move. It will result in the primary mailbox being in datacenter and the archive mailbox being
outside the datacenter (on premise). This is not a supported configuration.

Used Script:

Thanks

You cannot have your archive mailbox on-premises and your primary mailbox in Exchange Online.

There are only three options. These are:

1. Both primary and archive mailbox on-premises
2. Primary on-premises and archive mailbox in Exchange Online
3. Both primary and archive mailbox in Exchange Online
