Windows Updates should create a System Restore Point before installing the update, so you should be able to roll back to that.

How to restore Windows XP to a previous state describes the steps to rollback to a restore point and although is obviously Windows XP specific, the process should be similar for Server 2003.

Note that you can launch the System Restore GUI from a command prompt

%systemroot%\system32\restore\rstrui.exe

but I'm not sure if it's possible to execute an actual restore this way.
