Case Project Solutions
Case Project 1-1: Designing a Small Network:
Master Motors is an automobile dealership and repair shop with 18 computers running
Windows 8.1 Home. Their main dealership management software is installed on one
person's computer and shared with other users. Their software vendor has told them that
they need to host the application on a server if they have more than 20 computers.
You are a representative from a managed services provider (MSP) that needs to design a
solution for Master Motors that includes an upgrade to Windows 10. Which networking
model will you suggest? Which edition of Windows 10 will you suggest?
Solution:
Master Motors should use Windows 10 Pro in a domain model for networking.
Because Master Motors has nearly reached the limit for their application, you should
recommend a solution that includes a server. After the server is introduced, a domain
model for networking will be much easier to manage. This will allow users to sign in from
any workstation and not just their own.
To support using a domain model, Master Motors should install Windows 10 Pro. Windows
10 Pro is the minimum edition that supports joining a domain. Windows 10 Enterprise has
advanced features that are not typically required for smaller organizations such as Master
Motors.
Case Project 1-2: Upgrading to Windows 10:
Gigantic Life Insurance has 4,000 users spread over five locations in North America. They
have called you as a consultant to discuss different options for deploying Windows 10 to
the desktops in their organization.
Most of the existing desktop computers are a mix of Windows 7 Pro and Windows 8.1 Pro,
but one office is running Windows 8 Enterprise. They have System Center Configuration
Manager to control the deployment process automatically. They want to begin distributing
applications by using App-V.
Can you identify any issues that need to be resolved before the project begins? Which
edition of Windows 10 should they use? Which type of activation should they use?

357-50175-7], Module 1: Introduction to Windows 10
Windows 8 cannot be upgraded to Windows 10. Windows 10 Enterprise is the preferred
edition of Windows 10. Active Directory-based activation should be used.
The only problem with the upgrade plan is the existence of Windows 8 computers that
cannot be upgraded to Windows 10. Those users should be issued brand new computers
with Windows 10 already installed or they need to be updated to Windows 8.1 before the
upgrade to Windows 10.
The requirement to use App-V for application distribution means that they need to use
Windows 10 Enterprise. Windows 10 Enterprise also provides advanced management and
security features that can be useful for a large organization like this.
For computers that are connected to Active Directory and joined to the domain, Active
Directory-based activation should be configured. This is easier than using KMS for
activation.
Networking for Life
Window 10 is part of an entire computing ecosystem that also includes applications and
hardware. In a business, this ecosystem exists to make your and your co-workers more
productive. In a home, this ecosystem provides you and your family with entertainment
and education. To get the most benefits out of this ecosystem, you need to monitor blogs
that announce new features, hardware, and applications.
For this Networking for Life activity, you need to identify a posting on the Windows
Experience blog (https://blogs.windows.com/windowsexperience/) that you think is
interesting or useful. The posting that you select needs to be unique for your class. So,
when you determine which article you want to use, put a posting in the Learning
Management System (LMS) used by your school. The title of your posting should match the
title of the blog you have selected. Review the list of postings in the LMS to confirm that the
blog post you selected is not already listed. If someone else has already selected the same
blog post, then you need to select a different blog post.
Your post in the LMS should be at least 200 words and should contain:
• A link to the original blog post.
• A summary of the blog post.
• A description of why you thought it was interesting or useful.
In addition to creating your own post in the LMS, read the postings of your fellow students.
Select one posting where you think you can provide some additional insight. Use the link in
the blog posting to read the original post before you reply with your thoughts. Your
thoughts need to be unique and not merely a repetition of the original post. Your response
should be a minimum of 50 words.

Reflections
Windows 10 comes in many different editions. Each edition of Windows 10 has different
features and limitations. Many times, when new computers are purchased, they are
purchased with an edition of Windows 10 that’s not suitable for the organization. So, it’s
important for you to understand the distinctions between different editions of Windows 10.
For this Reflection activity, you need to read about the differences and commonality
between different editions of Windows 10. Use the information found in your textbook and
the Microsoft website (https://www.microsoft.com/windowsforbusiness/compare).
In the Learning Management System (LMS) of your school create a posting about a specific
feature in Windows 10. The posting that you select needs to be unique for your class. So,
when you determine which article you want to use, put a posting in the Learning
Management System (LMS) used by your school. The title of your posting should be the
name of the feature you have selected. Review the list of postings in the LMS to confirm
that the blog post you selected is not already listed. If someone else has already selected
the same blog post, then you need to select a different blog post.
Your post in the LMS should be at least 100 words and must contain:
• A description of the feature.
• List of the editions of Windows 10 that the feature appears in.
• A description why the feature is appropriate for those editions that have it.
In addition to creating your own post in the LMS, read the postings of your fellow students.
Select two postings where you think you can provide some additional insight about how
that feature could be useful. Your thoughts need to be unique and not merely a repetition
of the original post. Your response should be a minimum of 50 words.
