    For what its worth I would recommend using Invoke-RestMethod rather than Invoke-WebRequest. As for your question about getting a 401. You will need to authenticate with a get request before you send a PUT or POST. I'm not sure why this is the case, but it works.

    Thanks Brad that changed the look of the Get request to a short return versus using Invoke-WebRequest. They both return values but Invoke-RestMethod seems to only refer to the object in the URI not the whole URI list. I will try the Get statement before the Post statement and see what occurs.
