Robert, Add SiteId="*" as an attribute to iis:WebSite.
SiteId String Optional attribute to directly specify the site id of the WebSite. Use this to ensure all web sites in a web garden get the same site id. If a number is provided, the site id must be unique on all target machines. If "*" is used, the Description attribute will be hashed to create a unique value for the site id. This value must be a positive number or a "*" or a formatted value that resolves to "-1" (for the same behavior as "*") or a positive number or blank. If this attribute is absent then the web site will be located using the WebAddress element associated with the web site. Thanks, Thomas S.
