I have a new installation of Exchange 2016 Enterprise, Mailbox role (single server, no other servers in the infrastructure). Everything works fine but I need to make some configurations for which I need the commands Get-ReceiveConnector and Set-ReceiveConnector. However when I try to execute these commands in the Exchange Management Shell I get an error:
[PS] C:\Windows\system32>Get-ReceiveConnector Get-ReceiveConnector : The term 'Get-ReceiveConnector' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.
At line:1 char:1
Get-ReceiveConnector
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
CategoryInfo : ObjectNotFound: (Get-ReceiveConnector:String) [], CommandNotFoundException
- FullyQualifiedErrorId : CommandNotFoundException
I can execute other Exchange commands successfully and Get-ExCommand gives me a long list of supported commands, but not the two I need:

How can I get Get-ReceiveConnector and Set-ReceiveConnector to work?
I came across this post https://tigermatt.wordpress.com/2010/11/11/missing-some-cmdlets-at-exchange-management-shell-me-too/ and it says that it's a user profile issue.
I tried using another user (the domain administrator) and everything works fine, so it's really a problem of my user. However, deleting the folder as suggested in the article didn't work.
What worked was adding additional roles to my user, especially the Organization Management and Enterprise Admins and now everything works fine.
