True. However, I was just assuming that Postgres was running on default ports. If not, you could also probe in port ranges or even probe the network for open ports to have an idea and get closer. It might be faster option if software such as Spiceworks is not being used.
Spiceworks looks a good option too.

That only works in the event that you have PG listening on port 5432.
A product like Spiceworks will provide much more detail, presuming you have the IT credentials to talk to the machines.
nmap is the way to go. Try to scan for port 5432 in a range of IP of your
LAN.
