Add-PSSnapin “Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell”
$authentication = New-SPAuthenticationProvider -UseWindowsIntegratedAuthentication -DisableKerberos
New-SPWebApplication -Name “My SP2016 Web App” -Port 33779 -ApplicationPool “MySP2016AppPool” -ApplicationPoolAccount (Get-SPManagedAccount “MYSP\Administrator”) -AuthenticationMethod NTLM -AuthenticationProvider $authentication
