I want to apply a change so That I can use Server GC settings for my C# 3.5 app - I can do that by editing the machine.config file.
The only problem is I do not know where that is.
How can I find the path of this file in a repeatable way across a number of different machines

Machine configuration file, Machine. config, contains settings that apply to an entire computer. It is specifically used to store machine and application settings global to all asp.net web sites running in IIS in a computer. A system can have only one machine.
The machine. config file will automatically installed when you install Visual Studio.Net and it exist exists in the c:\windows\microsoft.net\framework\version\config folder whereas web. config will automatically created when you create an ASP.Net web application project.
Configuration files are normally saved in the Settings folder inside the My Documents\Source Insight folder.
config file is located in the %SystemRoot%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\%VersionNumber%\CONFIG\ directory.
32-bit
%windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\[version]\config\machine.config 64-bit
%windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\[version]\config\machine.config [version] should be equal to v1.0.3705, v1.1.4322, v2.0.50727 or v4.0.30319.
v3.0 and v3.5 just contain additional assemblies to v2.0.50727 so there should be no config\machine.config. v4.5.x and v4.6.x are stored inside v4.0.30319.

You can run this in powershell:
[System.Runtime.InteropServices.RuntimeEnvironment]::SystemConfigurationFile Which outputs this for .net 4:
C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\config\machine.config Note however that this might change depending on whether .net is running as 32 or 64 bit which will result in \Framework\ or \Framework64\ respectively.
