You can have Automatic Update install the SP2 installation by simpling
setting the Automatic update at a scheduled time. I have included a link
and information on the different options for settting and configurations for
Automatic Update.

Turn on Automatic Updates. Did you know that if you turn on Automatic
Updates, Windows Update automatically delivers the latest high priority
updates to your PC? When you visit Windows Update, now you can see your
current Automatic Updates settings, view the recommended setting for getting
the latest security updates, and change Automatic Updates settings for your
PC, directly from the Web site.
