This policy setting allows you to configure the UE-V Agent to write a warning event to the event log when a settings package file size reaches a defined threshold. By default the UE-V Agent does not report information about package file size. If you enable this policy setting, specify the threshold file size in bytes. When the settings package file exceeds this threshold the UE-V Agent will write a warning event to the event log. If you disable or do not configure this policy setting, no event is written to the event log to report settings package size.

Export Builder
BETAConfigure the state, scope and options, then generate .reg, PowerShell, Intune and SCCM outputs — or add the setting to a multi-setting collection.
These exports write the registry — this is not a managed GPO. ⓘ
Applying both scopes creates an ambiguous configuration (computer takes precedence over user). Only do this intentionally.
