Searching shared folder on network storage for duplicate files and or folder names

Looking for a quick way either by script or batch file, that can return it back to me in a text file or a readable format to look for duplicate files. Trying to clean up our shared network folders on 3 different networks.  We have im sure several programs in general, taking up a lot of space that can be cleaned up.

What is your criteria for a duplicate file (e.g. filename only)?

Criteria, would be for program files, So file name only. Or duplicate folder names as well.
We have several copies of say Roxio Install, Service Packs, Firefox, java, etc, across our network drive. Using a freeware of commercial tool, wouldnt be an option, due to the fact its on a secure, unaccessible outside network.
You wouldn't by chance have the .NET framework installed on the machine that will be running the script? I ask because I would still provide you with a script, but I wanted to use some of the objects .NET provides. If not, it no biggie--I'll just work around it :)
No..dont have .NET framework running...if you could provide the script, that would be just fine.  Thanks
