You are correct: If two users run the script at the same time
then you get a file sharing violation error. To avoid this trap,
code like this:
echo %ComputerName% >> \\ServerName\share\%ComputerName%
You now schedule a task that runs once every night on the server:
@echo off
if not exist \\ServerName\share\collect md \\ServerName\share\collect
for %%a in (\\ServerName\share\*.*) do
type %%a >> \\ServerName\share\collect\collect.txt
del /q \\ServerName\share\collect\*.*
