This is how we do it manually:
In IIS Manager, click on Server Name again
Scroll down and double click Authentication
Right Click the Windows Authentication and select Enable
Right Click the Windows Authentication and select Advanced Settings
Uncheck the box for “Enable kernel-mode authentication
Right click ASP.NET Impersonation and select Enable
Right click on Basic Authentication and select Enable (for F5 monitoring)
It appears that I can set Windows Authentication with:
Set-WebConfigurationProperty -filter /system.webServer/security/authentication/windowsAuthentication -name enabled -value True -PSPath IIS:\
But i don't see how to set this:
Advanced Settings
Uncheck the box for “Enable kernel-mode authenticationor these:
Right click ASP.NET Impersonation and select Enable
Right click on Basic Authentication and select Enable (for F5 monitoring)

By George, I think I've got it:
If ((Get-Module "WebAdministration" -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue) -eq $null){
Import-Module WebAdministration
}if ((Get-PSSnapin "Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell" -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue) -eq $null) {
Add-PSSnapin "Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell"
}if ((Get-Module "ServerManager" -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue) -eq $null) {
Import-Module "ServerManager"
}
Set-WebConfigurationProperty -filter /system.webServer/security/authentication/anonymousAuthentication -name enabled -value False -PSPath IIS:\
Set-WebConfigurationProperty -filter /system.webServer/security/authentication/basicAuthentication -name enabled -value True -PSPath IIS:\
Set-WebConfigurationProperty -filter /system.webServer/security/authentication/windowsAuthentication -name enabled -value True -PSPath IIS:\
cd $env:windir\system32\inetsrv
.\appcmd.exe set config "Default Web Site" -section:system.webServer/security/authentication/windowsAuthentication /useKernelMode:"False" /commit:apphost#This does the Asp.Net
Set-WebConfigurationProperty -Name impersonate -Filter system.web/identity -Value True

So, it seems that these work as far as they go;
Set-WebConfigurationProperty -filter /system.webServer/security/authentication/anonymousAuthentication -name enabled -value False -PSPath IIS:\
Set-WebConfigurationProperty -filter /system.webServer/security/authentication/basicAuthentication -name enabled -value True -PSPath IIS:\
Set-WebConfigurationProperty -filter /system.webServer/security/authentication/windowsAuthentication -name enabled -value True -PSPath IIS:\
The two that are aluding me are;
Advanced Settings
Uncheck the box for “Enable kernel-mode authenticationor these:
Right click ASP.NET Impersonation and select Enable
