Yes, that would suffice, however, since you are pulling in 100 files of the
same name, I would copy the files to a single folder and rename them by the
corresponding server names they came from. This will make browsing through
the files much easier.
Whether you start learning with batch or wsh is up to you. Actually, this is
a good problem where you might want to try your hand at both scripting
methods and see which way is easier for you. Depending on the amount of
error checking and logging incorporated into each solution, that may help
you decide which way your time is best spent on future issues.
IMO, batch is best for file management
while WSH is better for data manipulation. YMMV.
