Using XP SP3 install switches with WSUS

Hello Newsgroup,

I am trying to rollout SP3 to all the computers in my domain and have had
some trouble with some of my test machines, the update has overwritten the
OEM USB drivers which causes the pc to either hang if a USB device is
plugged in or reboot if one is plugged in after booting.
This can be got round post update by overwriting the drivers and rebooting
the PC (not ideal!!).
The other option is to use the /o option when installing the service pack
via the command line.
Is it possible to deploy SP3 with the /o option from within WSUS.
i have 600+ pc's to roll out to and had a 20% hit rate for this issue on my
test group!!. this could equate to 120+ pc's with issues, a busy day for my
helpdesk staff and a lot of hastle for my users!!!

Thanks in advance
