Rajkiran Swain · Answer

Fix is simple: Just execute this stsadm command line from your SharePoint WFE server. Say, you want to allow site or list template up to 250 MB: stsadm -o setproperty -propertyname max-template-document-size -propertyvalue 262144000 (250 MB) Using PowerShell to Get/Set SharePoint list template maximum size: Its also possible to use PowerShell. Here is an example of setting SharePoint 2010 list / site template maximum size: Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.SharePoint.Powershell -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue #For MOSS 2007, Uncomment below two lines #[void][System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("Microsoft.SharePoint") #[void][System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration") $webservice = [Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration.SPWebService]::ContentService #Get the current Maximum Size $webservice.MaxTemplateDocumentSize #Set New Limit and update $webservice.MaxTemplateDocumentSize = 524288000 #500 MB $webservice.Update() Although the maximum template size in SharePoint 2010 or in SharePoint 2013 can be set to: 524288000 (500 MB), Always try to keep it in lower than: 50 MB for better performance!
