Thank you for your post!
Yes, we can verify if the patch has been applied by checking the Add/Remove
Programs items in Control Panel.
If there are a large number of clients in your network, we need to use SMS
to simplify these operations. I have answered the problem in your thread
just now in the SMS news group. For your convenience, I pasted that post
below:

Suggestion 1:
====================
Regarding your concerns to tell if the RPC patch was applied, we can check
if the corresponding Registry key(s) exists. The detailed keys can be found
in the KB article:
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=823980
Then, we can develop a script to check the Registry and deploy the script
to the clients. For example,
Set wshell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
If (wshell.Regread("HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\Hotfix\KB823980\Installed") = 1) Then
' Your Action (for example, installing the patch from a network share)
Suggest 2:
====================
Actually, to facilitate security patch deployment, we provide a tool, SUS,
it can detect/install the security patch with SMS:
Software Update Services Feature Pack
