SCCM 2007 Adding Multiple Machines Using Direct Membership

[P@docIT]

Does anyone know of a way to add multiple machines to a collection using direct membership? I can't really use a wildcard because all of our machines are named similarly and I only want to get a specific number of those machines. Example of what I'm trying to do, so we are about to roll out win 7 however we have about 6000 machines and will be doing it in stages, so I will need to create collections based on those rollouts. Our first test group will consist of 30 users. How can I add just those 30 machines to a collection without having to go through the direct membership wizard 30 times?

 

Thanks,

Mike

You also can create a query and use the Select instead of the single value. Bind it to the SystemResource.Name property with "is in". This way you can add the clients with copy and paste, one by one.
