Question:

Is there a winbatch function that I can use to create, set ID/password for a virtual directory?

Answer:

You can create a virtual directory using the ADSI extender's dsCreatObj and dsSetObj functions. Something like this:

sPath = "IIS://localhost/W3SVC/1/ROOT"

; Create a vdir
sVdirPath = dsCreateObj(sPath, "IIsWebVirtualDir", "TestVdir") 
dsSetObj(sVdirPath)

I am not sure how to set up password protection but look at the properties of your new virtual dir. There may be some hint there.

NB: Make sure you set the properties for the virtualdir object.
