Can I search AD for Service Pack version?

[serverguy]

In the properties of a computer account, the operating system tab has three
fields: name, version and service pack. I cannot figure out how to search
by service pack. Is there a way to do this? I desperately need to update
several hundred W2K machines that have older service packs, but I need to
find them first!

We have a 2003 AD domain, we do not have SMS unfortunately, so I need a
manual method or script.

Thanks!
