On-prem mailbox with Online archives
Can anyone let me know what type of user the Exchange Online user is when the users primary mailbox is on-prem (Exchange 2010) and the archive is located in Exchange Online?

- If you are in a hybrid configuration, you can assign Exchange Online Plan 2 or Exchange Online Archiving to enabling archiving features. You can assign licenses for on-premises mailboxes as well, no (online) mailbox will be created additionally. This was the case a long time ago ...
To answer your question about the recipient type in Exchange Online: it is a mail user with archive enabled. You can check it with Get-MailUser <cloud mail user> | FL *archive*
As mentioned previously, "Exchange Online Archiving" is different from archiving for Exchange Online users. The naming is confusing I know.
If you want to have an archive for on-prem mailboxes, then you need that license.
Otherwise what is happening is that by assigning an E3 license you are creating a full Exchange Online mailbox - which can cause issues.
I would also suggest that you reach out to Microsoft FastTrack to help with your migration planning as they are a free resource.

Just to confirm this, if a customer has Office 365 E3 or E5, they have hybrid enabled but no mailboxes migrated, and simply want Exchange Online Archiving with their On-Prem Exchange 2010 mailboxes for now, they can utilize their existing Exchange Online (Plan 2) Sub-SKUs and not have to purchase the specific Exchange Online Archiving license?
Yes you can. The E3 and E5 licenses both include Exchange Online (Plan 2) as a service, which allows you to use Exchange Online Archiving.
