Forcing WSUS to Reboot 2012 server after updates complete.

-

we control automatic updates cycling 2 gpos in , out because allow updates occur during 1 day month.

we have 2 gpos,  1 sets updates manual , other sets them automatic on saturday @ 9:00am.   discovered windows 2012 no longer reboots (if necessary) after updates installed, waits 2 days , if no users have logged on confirm reboot forces reboot.  

in order our maintenance routine work need windows server 2012 reboot following installation of these updates on saturday when auto-install gpo in place.   used work 2008 , 2008r2 , new behavior 2012. 

i found discussion http://social.technet.microsoft.com/forums/windowsserver/en-us/755e3325-fd60-4332-baaf-fbd02885858b/a-restart-is-needed-pc-will-automatically-restart-the-next-time-you-sign-in?forum=winserver8gen issue, fix outline doesn't seem make sense me.   there new gpo setting need toggle wsus updates perform did in 2008?

it seems though put fix in place similar problem.

see if doesn't fix issue ---

first, verify problem having: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2885694

if so, follow instructions here import update wsus: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc708583%28v=ws.10%29.aspx
