I am new at a site which is about five years old. The primary IT guy has left and no-one remaining knows where certain software has been loaded.

I know the name of the .exe - how can I quickly search to find which server it is located on?

Might be better asked on Super User? – Tim May 9 '11 at 19:02
More like Moderate User... Just navigate to the folder and press search in your operating system's file manager. – Blindy May 9 '11 at 19:16
Blindy - I think you missed something. It sounds like the file may be on one of several machines. I.e. if I understand correctly Wichitan is asking how to run a single search across multiple computers. Still might be better addressed on SuperUser. – Richard J Foster May 9 '11 at 19:31

Take a look at Everything. You'll have to add the networked drives and let it index it but it should work.

If the machines on the network are running Windows software, the answer at http://superuser.com/questions/127505/software-to-search-for-shared-files-folders-in-all-machines-in-a-windows-network may be helpful.
