public static ManagementObject GetWebServerSettingsByServerComment(string serverComment)
        {
            ManagementObject returnValue = null;

            ManagementScope iisScope = new ManagementScope(@"\\localhost\root\MicrosoftIISv2", new ConnectionOptions());
            iisScope.Connect();
            if (iisScope.IsConnected)
            {
                ObjectQuery settingQuery = new ObjectQuery(String.Format(
                    "Select * from IIsWebServerSetting where ServerComment = '{0}'", serverComment));

                ManagementObjectSearcher searcher = new ManagementObjectSearcher(iisScope, settingQuery);
                ManagementObjectCollection results = searcher.Get();

                if (results.Count > 0)
                {
                    foreach (ManagementObject manObj in results)
                    {
                        returnValue = manObj;

                        if (returnValue != null)
                        {
                            break;
                        }
                    }
                }
            }

            return returnValue;
        }
