Hello @H. Laguide ,

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A platform.

Here are the steps to start and pause Azure Analysis services with on premise powershell:

Step1: Import Az.AnalysisServices module
To create a server in your subscription, you use the Az.AnalysisServices module. Load the Az.AnalysisServices module into your PowerShell session.

   Import-Module Az.AnalysisServices  

Step2: Sign in to Azure
Sign in to your Azure subscription by using the Connect-AzAccount command. Follow the on-screen directions.

 Connect-AzAccount  

Step3: [Only run if you have multiple Azure Subscription].
The Set-AzContext cmdlet sets authentication information for cmdlets that you run in the current session. The context includes tenant, subscription, and environment information.

Set-AzContext -SubscriptionId "xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx"  

Step4: Gets the details of an Analysis Services server.
The Get-AzAnalysisServicesServer cmdlet gets the details of an Analysis Services server.

Get-AzAnalysisServicesServer -ResourceGroupName "ResourceGroup03" -Name "testserver"  

To start Azure Analysis services, use Resume-AzAnalysisServicesServer

The Resume-AzAnalysisServicesServer cmdlet resumes an instance of Analysis Services server

Resume-AzAnalysisServicesServer -Name "testserver" -ResourceGroupName "testgroup"  

To stop Azure Analysis services, use Suspend-AzAnalysisServicesServer

The Suspend-AzAnalysisServicesServer cmdlet suspends an instance of Analysis Services server

Suspend-AzAnalysisServicesServer -Name "testserver" -ResourceGroupName "testgroup"  

Reference: Azure Analysis services – Azure PowerShell cmdlets

Now using Azure Automation, you can schedule start & stop of Azure Analysis Services.

Hope this helps. Do let us know if you any further queries.
