I'm pretty sure it can be applied as part of the service pack or beforehand. You'll need both Schema and Enterprise admin rights.
One thing that got me during the installation is that I have a DC in a remote site. After updating the schema, the service pack installation then failed and I had to retry it My memory is a bit fuzzy, but I'm pretty sure it was because the schema updates had not replicated out the remote DC. Once I forced that, it went smoothly.* *With one exception unrelated to Exchange itself.
