The script name is stored in the scripts.ini file within SYSVOL, so you
would basically have to write some code to iterate through the
SYSVOL\Policies structure, look for and read each of those files and figure
out if your paths are there.

Mainly looking for the script name in the GPO - if people really have put
embedded server names inside scripts themselves - then good luck to them :)
