Our SP2 update was cancelled shortly after beginning and now Update says we
are fully up to date. How can I return to a cancelled update or force SP2 to
install?

All updates can be found at www.microsoft.com/downloads.

To reset the pending download have a look at:-
http://v5.windowsupdate.microsoft.co...umer/showartic
le.aspx?articleid=11&ln=en
Stop the Automatic Updates service, clear the contents of
the DataStore and Download folders, and restart the
Automatic Updates service


Basically, you'll need to clean out the Download folder
for WU5

Delete the Contents of the DataStore and Download
folders.
1. Click Start.
2. Choose Run.
3. In the Run box, type %windir%
\SoftwareDistribution.
4. Click OK.
5. Delete the contents of both the DataStore,
(perhaps also the EventCache)and Download folders.

Have a look at:
http://v5.windowsupdate.microsoft.co...umer/showartic
le.aspx?articleid=11&ln=en

You will lose your WUv5 History listing - but nothing to
worry about.
