I don't believe that group membership can be a criterion for a smart
group.
 Perhaps that can be a feature request.
Does your static group have any other common elements?

If they're on the same isolated subnet, you can create a Network Segment
for
them and use that as the common criterion.

You could create a "beta testing" Department and add all of these
machines
to it and then scope down your smart group from there, i.e., by having
criteria of "beta testing" department and >0 SW updates available.
