Mike Petersen has created some updated policy templates to work with XP. These happen to include settings to force auto update and allow you to use an SUS/WUS server if you've got one. There are some other nice settings in there too. Use that template (optionally in combination with the winnt.adm and common.adm as shipped with the policy editor for w2k) to create an NTConfig.pol file. Drop that in your netlogon share and away you go.
