Explain Windows 10 deployment methods. Which method or methods you think will be appropriate for the upgrade?
This project will be to design a training presentation to the client’s IT staff.
The presentation must meet the following requirements:
11 to 15 slides of easy-to-understand content (text and visuals). Remember, your audience is the IT team within an accounting firm.
voice annotation for every slide (excluding the reference slide)
at least two references
The presentation can incorporate screenshots from Project 2 along with additional screenshots as needed. Content should include work that needs to go into making the upgrade successful, how to improve security using two or three of the Windows 10 built-in features, and how-to backup and restore Windows 10 data using some of the tools available in Windows 10.
The presentation should address your recommendations for the following items:
Version Summary
Recommended version of Windows 10 (e.g., Windows 10 Pro, Enterprise, Pro Workstation) and specific reasons for your choice (e.g., security features, technical and business requirements).
Installation Methods
Explain Windows 10 deployment methods. Which method or methods you think will be appropriate for the upgrade? Consider the hardware specifications outlined in the project scenario.
Security Features
Windows Security, BitLocker, Defender, Local Security Policy
Backup and Recovery Overview
Discuss the importance of backing up and recovery of Windows 10. This can include explaining what types of files and data that can backed up and restored. This should address:
the problems encountered when Tetra Shillings Accounting fell victim to a ransomware attack that resulted in the loss of critical data.
the concerns that Tetra Shillings Accounting has concerning recovering data that is lost due to deletion, corruption, or media failure.
the ability to restore system files and settings without affecting the user’s personal files and data.
the concerns that the client has about recovering systems that are negatively impacted by an operating system update.
Backup and Recovery Tools
You will need to explain how to use Windows 10 backup and recovery tools to meet these objectives. Provide a brief overview of each tool and how it can be used to address the company’s concerns. Use screenshots to demo how to configure backups that address the firm’s need to recover from a ransomware attack and restore the system to a state before a Windows update, driver, or application was installed.
Backup to Recover from Ransomware Attack
Describe how to back up and restore individual files using the utilities available in Windows 10. This should provide the client the ability to restore files lost due to ransomware attacks or other potential risks.
Backup and Recover a Restore Point
Research how to protect backup data that is stored on the network. Based on your research, you need to present a strategy to protect backup data that is compromised during a ransomware attack. This will most likely require a strategy to store, copy, or move backups to an offsite location. In this slide, you will need to explain the risks of only having only having a single copy of a backup stored on the network. Think about if the client suffers another ransomware attack and the corrupted data cannot be restored because the backups were also compromised during the attack.
Explain your goal in applying each concept to the environment that you have described.
Review the important themes within the sub questions of each bullet point. The sub questions are designed to get you thinking about some of the important issues. Your response should provide a succinct synthesis of the key themes in a way that articulates a clear point, position, or conclusion supported by research.
Experience teaches us that the bulk of the technical material covered in this course will, unfortunately, be forgotten shortly thereafter. If you were to commit just three concepts you have learned in this course to your long-term memory, which concepts would you select and why?
Evaluate the applicability of each of the concepts that you’ve selected to a business environment in which you have worked in the past (or with which you might be familiar).
Describe how you would apply each of the concepts. Be specific.
Explain your goal in applying each concept to the environment that you have described.
The final paragraph (three or four sentences) of your initial post should summarize the one or two key points that you are making in your initial response.
Submission Detail:
Your posting should be the equivalent of 1 to 2 single-spaced pages (500–1000 words) in length.

What would you estimate to be the Value per Share (per Legg Mason share) of the Legg Mason cost savings mentioned in the release?
This is an old one, but a good one to test understanding of synergies/premium/value for deals that are announced in news
Back in early 2020, Legg Mason announced that it agreed to be acquired by Franklin Templeton. Read this press release: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20200218005552/en/Franklin-Templeton-to-Acquire-Legg-Mason-Creating-1.5-Trillion-AUM-Global-Investment-Manager
Note all the key words they use for the strategic rationale: “unlocks substantial value and growth opportunities;” “differentiated capabilities with modest overlap;” “balance across investment strategies, distribution channels, and geographies;” “shared vision;” “scale;” “$200 million in annual cost savings….majority…expected to be realized within one year.” There is much more.
What would you estimate to be the Value per Share (per Legg Mason share) of the Legg Mason cost savings mentioned in the release? Any thoughts on who is getting majority of expected synergy value/share (buyer shareholders or Legg shareholders, assuming Legg is properly valued standalone)? Submit an excel sheet showing me your work, that’s it — keep it simple so I can follow. The title of this assignment is also a link to submit your work. Simply select the link, upload your excel file, and submit. I will go over a solution for this tomorrow and you can build it yourself in class if you wish (yes, it should be easier since I’m going over) — it will be due by next weekend.
Key information: Legg Mason closing stock price day before announcement = $40.72 ; Legg Mason shares outstanding were 87,165,000 ; Effective Tax Rate to use 26.0%; 100% Cash Financed. Risk Free Rate assume was 3% at time. Someone did a calculation of Legg’s WACC and it was 9.0%.
