You cant increase more than 500MB as there is limitation of MaxTemplateDocumentSize "A 32-bit integer between 0 and 500 MB."

Below script increase it to 500 MB.

 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 = 1048576000 #1000 MB
$webservice.Update()

Now only option is use the Export-SPweb and Import-SPweb Commands to achieve it.

  • It does not work. It looks like SharePoint doesn't let you go beyond 500MB. This is the error message that I get "The specified value for maximum template document size is not valid. Specify a positive number less than 524288000."

  • You are correct, A 32-bit integer between 0 and 500 MB. this is limitation of the site.
