The easiest way to do this as well as all other updates is to install and
configure Software Update Services on a server. Then set a group policy to
make sure your clients receive this at a schedule time. SUS is free from
MS. Get it from the downloads page at MS. You'll also need to import the
ADM file into your group policy for Windows 2000.

The alternatives might be rolling out SP as the software package using group
policy or scheduling Automatic Updates client service. Certainly, SUS is a
preferrable method.

Why to read an outdated compiled source? Go directly to
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserversystem/sus/susfaq.mspx:
"Service packs are now available through SUS starting with Windows 2000 SP4
and Windows XP SP1. Future service packs for Windows ServerT 2003 will also
be made available via SUS as the service packs are released."
