File checker tool?

I'm having a google fail moment...

Is there a tool that will examine the md5/sha1 checksums of files and
report if they're on a blacklist?  Does such a thing exist for Windows
Domains in enterprise sized environments?

For instance, say you want to stop someone from installing autocad (no
idea why I picked this... just first non-malware software example that
popped in my head) on a workstation.  You wouldn't use AV to prevent
it from being installed...

What tool would be the way to go about doing this?  SMS/WSUS/whatever
it's called now mainly uses filename as the ID right?


Thanks for helping a *nix guy learn his way in a Windows world
