7. In the right pane under Filtering Rules, click the Add rule button.
   
8. In the Then menu, "excludes computers not in" will be the default. 
9. In the menu just to the right of the Then menu, choose Computer List.
10. Then click Select.
    
11. In the Select Item window that opens, click the computer resources that represent your reference system(s).
12. Click OK.
