The below code can be implemented to find all tables containing column with specified name in MS SQL :

SELECT      COLUMN_NAME AS 'ColumnName'

            ,TABLE_NAME AS  'TableName'

FROM        INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS

WHERE       COLUMN_NAME LIKE '%MyName%'

ORDER BY    TableName

            ,ColumnName;

If you wish to get all tables in MS SQL, the code is as follows-

SELECT TABLE_NAME 

FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES

WHERE TABLE_NAME like '%'

and TABLE_SCHEMA = 'tresbu_lk'

And if you wish to get all tables with specific column names in MS SQL, then go for the following code-

SELECT DISTINCT TABLE_NAME, COLUMN_NAME  

FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS  

WHERE column_name LIKE '%'  

AND TABLE_SCHEMA='tresbu_lk'

You may use this query code to replace the desired column name by your own column name-
SELECT TABLE_NAME FROM information_schema.columns WHERE column_name = 'desired_column_name';
