I need help in figuring out how to block the install of SQL Server 2005 SP2. This is causing problem and I have to find a way to figure this out.
Please help if possible.

Disable automatic updates on the Windows Server?

That is not really an option.
I have 1000+ pc's deployed that are asking for this silly update and they are not on a domain and they are not running WSUS.
This update is failing and since we do not need/use SQL 2005 on this machines, I just want to prevent this one update.

If they don't have SQL Server on there, they shouldn't be trying to update it. I've never seen a computer without the server software try to install an update/patch.
Are you sure that's what's going on?

I do not see where I said SQL is not on the machine.
I have 1000+ pc's with SQL Express 2005. It does not function correctly and the SP2 update fails.
I need to find a way to prevent Windows Update from trying every day to install the update and it fails.
I desperatly need a way to block this update.

I used this for my SQL installation and I don't experience any problems
Open a command prompt, navigate to the directory or drive that contains the installation media, and specify setup.exe SKUUPGRADE=1 on the command line (for example, d:\setup.exe SKUUPGRADE=1).

That's where you seemed to imply that they don't have the software. I guess maybe I misread "we do not need/use".
Since you have SQL on those machines, but do not need SQL on them, I recommend uninstalling it. That will, effectively, block the update.
The other option is go onto each machine, and check "Ignore this update" on the Windows update page, for each of them.
Or, you can centrally manage Windows patching and updates. I'm not familiar with that technology, but I know a lot of companies with lots of pcs work that way.
