I recently did a deep dive on how to apply UR2 to System Center 2012 SP1 Operations Manager. http://blogs.technet.com/b/kevinholman/archive/2013/04/11/applying-update-rollup-2-ur2-to-opsmgr-2012-sp1.aspx
The following article covers some of the other System Center 2012 SP1 components, such as Orchestrator, App Controller, and Service Manager.
The KB article and download links are located at: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2802159
Orchestrator 2012 SP1:
The simplest way to apply these updates to Orchestrator RunBook Servers and Runbook Designers would be using Windows Update, which can be controlled via WSUS or ConfigMgr since these are on the catalog.
Alternatively, you can download these and manually apply them. The catalog location for the Orchestrator UR2 update is: http://catalog.update.microsoft.com/v7/site/Search.aspx?q=2828193
The manual application is simple – download the CAB files, extract the MSP files, and then copy them to all your RunBook Servers, and any machine with the RunBook Designer installed. These MSP’s need to be applied via an *elevated* command prompt:
No success feedback is given. Check your application event log or do a quick file spot check:
App Controller 2012 SP1:
The simplest way to apply these updates to an App Controller server would be using Windows Update, which can be controlled via WSUS or ConfigMgr since these are on the catalog.
Alternatively, you can download these and manually apply them. The catalog location for the App Controller UR2 update is: http://catalog.update.microsoft.com/v7/site/Search.aspx?q=2815569
The manual application is simple – download the CAB files, extract the MSP files, and then copy them to all your App Controller Server. These MSP’s need to be applied via an *elevated* command prompt:

Service Manager 2012 SP1:
The UR2 updates for Service Manager 2012 SP1 are not part of Windows Update. These are a separate download available here:

There are two files, one is x64 and the other x86. The x86 update would only be deployed if you were running 32 bit consoles somewhere, as the servers themselves are only 64bit.
I copy the x64 update file down to my SCSM Management server, and my Data Warehouse Management server. I will execute the update from an *elevated* command prompt:
This kicks off a self-extracting update with a UI. Agree to the license agreement and click “Install”
This will go through several steps, installing files, stopping and starting the SCSM services, configuring the database, then finalization. When complete, you will see a final dialogue:
You can do a quick file spot check to verify:
When complete – I move on to my Data Warehouse Management Server, and repeat.
Lastly – I need to update any consoles I have deployed on user desktops or terminal servers in my environment.
