Hi D.Eason,

Welcome to asp.net forum.

 401-unauthorized: access is denied due to invalid credentials

According to your Power shell script, I suppose the issue is related to the username.

Since the deployment username contains a '$' in the beginning, then PowerShell will treats it as a local variable instead of a literal string. 

To escape the username, we need to add a '`(backtick)' in front of the $ sign. Like this:

$username = "`$websitename"

Best regards,
Dillion
