As an aside, WUInstall is a small command line utility that allows you to add Windows Update functionality into a script.
You can download it here http://www.wuinstall.com/index.php/en
Most of you have probably heard of it but if you haven't it essentially automates the Windows Update functionality and takes into account any Group Policy settings you have such as an internal WSUS Servers.
It's a godsend, and something I always add to the end of every install script.

Subject: RE: [patchmanagement] Office 2010 sp2
This depends on how you plan to roll out SP2, but if you do it via a script you should be able to use msiexec to automatically repair Office 2003 after the 2010 SP2 install.
I did a similar thing when I recently upgraded to Office 2013, at the start of the script it would run the following:
echo *** Removing *** Office 2007 Compatibility Pack
MsiExec.exe /X{90120000-0020-0409-0000-0000000FF1CE} /qb
echo *** Removing *** Office 2003...
MsiExec.exe /X{90110409-6000-11D3-8CFE-0150048383C9} /qb
This removed the 2007 Compat Pack and Office 2003. This was mainly because I was getting installation errors on some of the installs (I'd setup Office 2013 to automatically remove old versions but it would often just hang during the uninstall).
I can't test this but the following command should quietly and automatically repair Office 2003:
msiexec /fa \\server\share\Office<file:///\\server\share\Office> 2003 Pro\PRO11.MSI /qb
The repair options for msiexec are below:
Repair Options
/f[p|e|c|m|s|o|d|a|u|v] <Product.msi | ProductCode>
Repairs a product
p - only if file is missing
o - if file is missing or an older version is installed (default)
e - if file is missing or an equal or older version is installed
d - if file is missing or a different version is installed
c - if file is missing or checksum does not match the calculated value
a - forces all files to be reinstalled
u - all required user-specific registry entries (default)
m - all required computer-specific registry entries (default)
s - all existing shortcuts (default)
v - runs from source and recaches local package
The repair may cause old, unpatched, files to be copied over so I would run wuinstall.exe at the end of the script so that it patches Office 2003.
echo Downloading and Installing Updates...
"\\server\share\WUInstall\WUInstall.exe<file:///\\server\share\WUInstall\WUInstall.exe>" /install /reboot
Not pretty, or nice, but it "should" work :)
