One thing I forgot to mention earlier:  SUS is *not* for service
packs; it's just for hotfixes and patches.  You'll still need to
find a way to download and apply service packs to your users'
machines.

service pack = tons of hotfixes
check this ftp: hotfix.microsoft.com

SMS does them, but you have to pay for it.  

that's why SUS unable to apply service paks :)


Putting the service
packs on a network drive that everyone maps, and doing the
installations from there might work too.

needs local admin privilegs, not the best solution.
