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?
