did you installed the client on them ? are they installed the client successfully ? you can create collection for SCCM Non client with creiteria client=No and intiate client push onto them at one go. look the this blog post for installing sccm client health check list http://eskonr.com/2010/11/sccm-client-installation-troubleshooting-steps-check-list/ and troubleshooting clients which are not reporting http://blogs.technet.com/b/configurationmgr/archive/2009/08/10/troubleshooting-issues-where-clients-are-not-reporting.aspx you can also create collection based on its inventory status to when they last communicated to site server http://eskonr.com/2009/08/sccm-collection-report-for-hardware-inventory-not-reported-for-x-days/Please click on "vote as Helpful" if you feel this post helpful to you.
