The following command returns site ID:

%systemroot%\system32\inetsrv\APPCMD list site <SiteName>

Example output:

SITE "Default Web Site" (id:1,bindings:http/*:80:default.local,state:Started)
SITE "My Site" (id:2,bindings:http/*:80:my.local,state:Started)

Save this a XXX.VBS

dim lookfor: lookfor = lcase(WScript.Arguments(0))
dim ws: set ws = getobject("IIS://localhost/w3svc")
for each site in ws
    if site.class = "IIsWebServer" then
        if lcase(site.ServerComment) = lookfor then
            wscript.echo "id=" & site.Name & ", name=" & site.ServerComment
        end if
    end if
next

then from the command line

XXX.vbs site.tofind.com

or

cscript XXX.vbs site.tofind.com
