Can anyone tell me how to mass Audit the machines on my network to report the current SP Lvel on each box

Thanks

See the TechNet script center. They have all manner of this type of stuff
there. You might also try the resource kit and MBSA.

If you are using Active Directory, you can query it. It will have the OS and SP
level of any machines that are joined and actively talking to it. Note that it
will not report hotfixes, for that you have to query the machines directly.

Ex:

adfind -b dc=domain,dc=com -f objectcategory=computer operatingsystem
operatingsystemservicepack
