Assuming you have outside connectivity to the Internet,
you could go to each computer and run Windows Update. If
you have a lot of systems, this may be impractical.
A WORD OF WARNING: I tell this to everyone that is
contemplating loading Service Pack (SP), Service Releases
(SR), or Critical Updates (CU). Don't load them unless
they are going to fix a specific problem you are having,
or are needed as a requirement to load some software
package, or they will fix a specific security hole that
your applies to your system. Loading SPs and SRs,
especially, can cause more problems than they fix.
Microsoft will tell you the same, be sure you have a
specific need for that SP, SR, or CU. I have seen updates
disable most of the NICs on a large network, when they
were loaded without testing first.
