If you want to update the windows patch, you may use SUS.

If you need to do the office product update too, then you may need a SMS.

You can patch an administrative point of installation and redeploy Office
through the enterprise using group policy .

Assuming you have an active directory environment, get ahold of the msi
versions of the patches and distribute them as part of a group policy.

Hi

WUS (SUS 2.0) that will be released later this year will
support Office updates as well.
