Is anyone aware of a method to install SP2 to remote users (other than the Administrative Update) that doesn't require insertion of the original installation CD in the User's PC?

Zip SP2 on your server (available to remote users running Windows 2000).

Have them import and Unzip locally which will automatically install SP2 on a networked node.

The Service Pack installer will still want the original Office 2000 installation CD. How does zipping the SP help?

Try some software called Service Pack Manager 2000 from Gravity Storm Software, it's quite cheap and very reliable as it will query the whole network and check operating system and application service pack and hotfixes on each machine, you can then download the updates, either apply them there and then or schedule them for overnight - I know it's not free but it's better than SMS or other bloatware.
