This is what's I've done. But to add computers into the filter, I:
1. click Add
2. click Object types
3. check off Computers
4. type in "single computer name only" <- this part makes me grr
5. click OK
6. repeat the above steps for "each" computer name
For username objects, I can type in several at a time. This is what I'm
asking about as far as doing a more efficient way. And it looks like a
separate OU may be it. Most of my updates are things everyone will get.
But not everyone is on the same version of Office. So service packs or
updates like the compatibility pack only get deployed to certain computers
that have older versions of office.
