Incorrect Win32 Max Size Listed as 8GB. Outdated as of Feb 2024.

Brian Sparrow 0

The training module and test questions incorrectly state 8GB as the max size for Win32 applications. This was changed to 30 GB in February 2024. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/mem/intune/apps/apps-win32-app-management

Module:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/training/modules/deploy-update-applications/4-manage-window-32-apps-intune

Example Question:
"You have a Microsoft 365 subscription that includes a Windows device named Device1 that is enrolled in Microsoft Intune.

Device1 has the following configuration:

OS Architecture: 64-bit
Join Type: Microsoft Entra joined
Enrollment Type: Intune enrolled

You purchase a new app named App1 that has the following configuration:

Architecture: 32-bit
IntuneWin file size: 9GB

You need to deploy App1 to Device1 by using Microsoft Intune.

What should you do first?"

Provided answer:
"You should first reduce the file size of the IntuneWin file. The maximum size of an IntuneWin file for deploying a Win32 app is 8GB.

Download a 64-bit version of the source files is incorrect, as 32-bit apps can be deployed to 64-bit operating systems. Microsoft Entra Hybrid Join and Co-management are not requirements to deploy Win32 apps.

The MD-102 still states that an intunewin file could not be bigger than 8 GB.

As of 2/3/25 it is still incorrect for the practice test. This question should be discarded or re-created with relevant data.

Hi Kolby Pitcher,

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We understand how important it is for the practice test to reflect the most up-to-date information.

Our team has already flagged this issue, and we are working with the content team to ensure the necessary corrections are made. While MD-101 is being retired and replaced by MD-102, we recognize the need for accuracy in all related materials.

In the meantime, we recommend referring to the latest official documentation Win32 app management in Microsoft Intune for the most current details on Win32 app size limits.

Well, 5-4-2025 and still the incorrect question/answer is present. How does it take more than a year to fix this?

I'm studying to take the test tomorrow, this question is still in the test quiz on Microsoft's website:

This question is still in the test and with the incorrect answer. When will this be updated? It's been over a year since this was brought to your attention.

As of 20/06/25, this incorrect practice answer is still present for MD-102.

What if this were real exam conditions? Would I be able to challenge the result? Presumably this is just an issue with the practice exam, and the real exam will have accurate questions, but it's concerning that this still hasn't been resolved.
