Can Start-Process be used in Azure Automation?
When I try to start a process using Start-Process on Azure Automation, it doesn't run and remains Idle. Is it possible to run processes on Azure Automation?

There are 2 ways to run Azure Automation jobs - in Azure workers and in Hybrid workers on your premises. I suppose you are trying to run a job on a Hybrid worker, so you should be able to start a process on the machine. There are some security restrictions on the processes with GUI, so you will not be able to see GUI for your process, but for the process per-se - it will be created, I just tried it myself: start-process
To get more information on running jobs in Azure, please refer to https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/automation-starting-a-runbook/
Detailed article about running jobs on Hybrid Workers is here: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/automation-hybrid-runbook-worker/
