What I have been doing to test user numbers in sequence is to start the counter with a property value. Then I set the property from each server when I start it. Such as Juser_counter=1000

You might be able to generate the names from the current host name plus a local counter. Otherwise, use multiple user-id files - put a different one on each server. Easiest would be to use the same name, but you could perhaps use the machineName() function. Read the file using CSV Dataset.
