Quick script to find which database a table resides in with powershell. This assumes you have a file named servers.txt that lists the servers that you’ll be searching. This uses SQLPSX as well. Easy as cake.

Import-Module SqlServer

$tableName = 'TableName'
$servers = Get-Content c:\Test\Servers.txt

$servers | %{
	$srv = $_
	Get-SqlDatabase -sqlserver $(Get-SqlServer -sqlserver $_ -username 'UserName' -password '') | where{-not $_.IsSystemObject} | %{
		$db = $_
		Get-SqlTable -Database $_ | where{$_.Name -eq $tableName} | %{
			write-host "$($srv) $($db.Name)"
		}
	}
}
