Has anyone pushed Service Pack 2 for Win2k With SMS? If so can you point me in right direction for gathering information to accomplish this. Thanks
 
You don't mention what SMS version you use. I have used SMS 1.2 to deploy SP2 for Windows 2000 with great success. I would create a new job (I assume you are already familiar with SMS) and where I enter the command line to use, I have it set to W2KSP2.exe -u -f -o.

 
I am using SMS 2 SP3. I will create a new job with those switches and see what happens. Thank you for the info..
 
this is simple.
extract the contents of the SP. your package will run update.exe from the update folder. Use UNC path in your package properties.

run update.exe /? to see what command line switches will work best for you.

I did this for 500 machines and had no major failures. biggest problem was lack of disk space on C
