Well the easy thing would be to make a collection that contains all the servers. Use a query for this.
This is what i used:
select SMS_R_System.ResourceId, SMS_R_System.ResourceType, SMS_R_System.Name, SMS_R_System.SMSUniqueIdentifier, SMS_R_System.ResourceDomainORWorkgroup, SMS_R_System.Client from SMS_R_System inner join SMS_G_System_OPERATING_SYSTEM on SMS_G_System_OPERATING_SYSTEM.ResourceID
= SMS_R_System.ResourceId where SMS_G_System_OPERATING_SYSTEM.Name like "%Server%" and SMS_R_System.Client = "1"
Create a collection that contains all the DC. Use a query for this it could be based on the AD OU or the name of your DC.
Create a collection that contains all the cluster. Use a query for this could be done via the name or location in AD in something else you know all your cluster have in common.
Now in the first collection add the collections above as exclusion (all dc and all cluster)
You could also make a collection with all the name server you want. This will be direct base and add this collection as a exclusion to the other one.
This is the easy solution.
The best solution would be for you to come with a query that add all the servers and also exclude the one you don't want. Also try to avoid direct membership because they don't live you need to always be aware of them and do the modification. In some case
you can't avoid it but if you can do so.
