Wait 3 days while online the whole time and it'll happen eventually.

you would eventaully get this. Starting August 25, 2004, the windows
update/automatic updates will open with floodgates.

To verify if automatic updates is configured correctly, you have two options:
a) Follow the instructions provided here:

Or if you REALLY want to get SP2 now, go here to download it manually:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=049c9dbe-3b8e-4f30-8245-9e368d3cdb5a&displaylang=en

Ignore the warning from MS that says "DO NOT CLICK DOWNLOAD IF YOU ARE
UPDATING JUST ONE COMPUTER: A smaller, more appropriate download will be
available soon on Windows Update."

It is just their way of limiting the amount of network traffic on their
servers.
