Start-Process doesn't work with -credential parameter on Windows Server Core

Using Start-ProcessWith with a -Credential object should work for both running in session 0 (Enter-PSSession) and using the -Wait parameter to wait for it to complete. Unfortunately it will spawn in a new window (which you can hide though). If you want it to run the new process as another user but in the same window you essentially need Start-ProcessEx with a -Token. This allows you to spawn a process in the current terminal but unfortunately the -Token side requires privileges that not even normal Administrators typically have, thus would need to be run as SYSTEM.

I use Start-Sleep here because the -Wait doesn't work with -Credential for the Start-Process - this is a known issue. See https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShell/issues/17033
