Microsoft Exchange 2007 - Setting Maximum item size (kb) to a bigger number tips

 

Step 1.
Open Exchange Management Console -> Server Configuration
Right Click on Public Folder Database-> Properties -> Limits

Change Maximum item size (kb) to 76800 for 75MB file size limit from the default 10240 (kb) = 10 MB

Step 2.
Open cmdlet shell in your Exchange Server 2007

Note: 10240 KB = 10 MB

1. Set-TransportConfig -MaxReceiveSize 60MB -MaxSendSize 60MB
Organizational limits: These apply to all Exchange servers in the Organization. You can set these using the Set-TransportConfig command from the Exchange shell:

2. Set-ReceiveConnector “CONNECTOR NAME” -MaxMessageSize 60Mb
Receive Connector limit: Unlike Exchange Server 2003/2007’s SMTP virtual servers, ReceiveConnectors are only used to receive messages. The maximum message size limit can be different on different Receive Connectors on a Hub Transport or Edge Transport server.

3. Set-SendConnector “CONNECTOR NAME” -MaxMessageSize 60Mb
Send Connector limit: Send Connectors are used for sending outbound messages to the internet or particular address spaces (domains). Edge Transport servers also have a Send Connector to send inbound messages to Hub Transport servers in an AD Site.
How to find your Send Send Connectors name
Organization Configuration -> Hub Transport -> Send Connectors -> “Connector Name Here”

4. Set-Mailbox “Joe Adams” -MaxSendSize 60Mb -MaxReceiveSize 60Mb
Mailbox limit: Individual recipients like mailboxes can have their own limits to bypass the Organizational limits. To set these using the Exhange console: Recipients | Mailbox -> select mailbox | properties | Mail Flow Settings tab | Message Size Restrictions.

Other Tips:

Use the Exchange Management Shell to view existing organization message size limits

Run the following command: Get-TransportConfig | fl max*

Record the displayed values of the MaxReceiveSize, MaxSendSize, and MaxRecipientEnvelopeLimit parameters.
