Actually, mkwebdir.vbs is provided in the AdminScripts directory by default.
I just used it this week as the starting point for a script that adds a
virtual directory for all virtual servers.

This will depend on the rights of the CF service, I think. By default, the
CF service runs as SYSTEM on Windows, and would have rights to use ADSI to
modify IIS. However, in a shared hosting environment, I'd hope that the CF
service would run as a much less privileged user, and in that case would not
have rights to modify IIS.
