Run exchange cmdlets from non AD users? Is it possible?

Question

Hello!
I call powershell script from local user and obviously get access error. For example I need to get this info from AD:
(Get-MailBox -database DB2 -resultsize unlimited | Get-MailBoxStatistics | Add-Member -MemberType ScriptProperty -Name
TotalItemSizeinGB -Value {$this.totalitemsize.value.ToGB()} -PassThru | measure-object -property TotalItemSizeinGB -sum).Sum
I can use “-credential $Cred” only with Get-Mailbox. What about the others  cmdlets?
Anyway, there is a huge similar cmdlets giving access error if I don’t use AD user with proper permissions.
I need this for monitoring system which works from LocalSystem account.
Could somebody advice please?

Hi,
The account you use to run the cmdlet above should be a member of Organization Management role group and Recipient Management role group. What's more, the role group members should be AD users.
