I'm not sure what you mean by "disabling Autoupdater" but the AU has a
"Check Manually" setting, which I always use, and it causes no problems.
If you set it to that instead of trying to disable it, will that work?
Also, are you getting new students every week? because once everyone
has used Office once, then you should be able to change all the accounts
to Check Manually for Updates, shouldn't you?
Alternatively, since students are doing setup anyhow, can you instruct
them to choose Manual Updates?
