i fix it to enable windows and disable forms auth
$config = (Get-WebConfiguration system.web/authentication “IIS:\sites$iisAppName”)
$config.mode = “Windows”
$config | Set-WebConfiguration system.web/authentication
Set-WebConfigurationProperty -filter /system.webServer/security/authentication/windowsAuthentication -name enabled -value true -PSPath IIS:\ -location $iisAppName/$iisAppPoolName

to disable windows and enable forms
$config = (Get-WebConfiguration system.web/authentication “IIS:\sites$iisAppName”)
$config.mode = “Forms”
$config | Set-WebConfiguration system.web/authentication

$winAuth = Get-WebConfiguration -filter /system.webServer/security/authentication/windowsAuthentication
$winAuth.enabled = $false
$winAuth | set-Webconfiguration -filter /system.webServer/security/authentication/windowsAuthentication -PSPath IIS:\ -location “$iisAppName”
