We have Exchange 2013 on-premise with In-Place Archives hosted in Office365.  I want to run get-mailboxstatistics against my hosted archive to check out statistics on the user of the archives.  

I've connected to O365 with a new-pssession and imported the msonline module in PowerShell.

However, I get this error:

[PS] C:\Windows\system32>Get-Mailboxstatistics blahblahblah -archive

"The user 'blah blah blah' has a cloud-based archive. Currently, you can't run Get-MailboxStatistics -Archive on a
cloud-based archive."

Any ideas?

What exact steps are you using to connect to ExO?

Should be something like:

$Cred = Get-Credential

$s = New-PSSession -ConfigurationName Microsoft.Exchange -ConnectionUri https://ps.outlook.com/powershell -Credential $cred -Authentication Basic AllowRedirection

Import-PSSession $s

Hi,

Please refer to Andy's suggestion to connect to Exchange Online using remote Windows PowerShell or follow the arctile below:

If it still not work, please run the following command in Exchange 2013 on-premises server EMS to have a try:

Get-Mailbox -Identity blahblahblah -archive

Get-Mailboxstatistics blahblahblah -archive

Regards,

Thanks for the link. 

I've tried both:

$UserCredential = Get-Credential
$Session = New-PSSession -ConfigurationName Microsoft.Exchange -ConnectionUri https://ps.outlook.com/powershell -Credential $UserCredential -Authentication Basic -AllowRedirection
Import-PSSession $Session

and

$UserCredential = Get-Credential
$Session = New-PSSession -ConfigurationName Microsoft.Exchange -ConnectionUri https://outlook.office365.com/powershell-liveid/

-Credential $UserCredential -Authentication Basic -AllowRedirection
Import-PSSession $Session

but get the "The user 'blah blah blah' has a cloud-based archive.  Currently, you can't run Get-MailboxStatistics -Archive on a cloud-based archive." when I run

Get-MailboxStatistics blahblahblah -archive

My mailbox is On-Premise and my In-Place Archive is in the cloud.

Thanks for any hints!

That tells me you are not querying Office 365, but are connecting to an on-prem Exchange server.

HOw exactly are you connecting 365? From an Exchange Server or from a powershell window on your local workstation? I would do this from your local workstation.

I was connecting (or trying to) from an Exchange Management Shell on a non-Exchange server.

I tried in PowerShell ISE on my workstation and it works great!  

Thanks so much for the heads up on that one.  It's much appreciated!
