Actually, I think you are putting the cart before the horse.. I would make a scheduled job on each workstation to push the file to a location. You can make a simple batch file to map a drive, copy the file and disconnect the drive:

net use x: \\server\share
copy c:\xx.x x:\
net use x: /d

or if you want to truly grab the file off the machines you will have to make a file that includes all the pcnames and keep it up to date. From there you can schedule/run a batch file to read the pc file and map a drive, copy the file and disconnect the drive. This batch file is a little more complicated, I can give you an example if you would like, but I think the other way would be much easier.
