change the file you want to check for and the root directory at the beginning of the script.

@echo off

set "root_dir=."
set "file=xyz.xyz"

for /d /r "%root_dir%" %%# in (*) do (
    if not exist "%%#\%file%" echo %%#
)

For not recursive search:

@echo off

set "root_dir=."
set "file=xyz.xyz"
pushd "%root_dir%"
for /d   %%# in (*) do (
    if not exist "%%~f#\%file%" echo %%~f#
)
popd
