I am writing an installer class for my web service. In many cases when I use WMI (e.g. when creating virtual directories) I have to know the siteId to provide the correct m

Maybe not the best way, but here is a way :

1. loop through all the sites under "IIS://servername/service"
2. for each of the sites check if the name is "Default Web Site" in your case
3. if true then you have your site id

Example :

Dim oSite As IADsContainer
Dim oService As IADsContainer
Set oService = GetObject("IIS://localhost/W3SVC")
For Each oSite In oService
    If IsNumeric(oSite.Name) Then
        If oSite.ServerComment = "Default Web Site" Then
            Debug.Print "Your id = " & oSite.Name
        End If
    End If
Next
