Save as Template Size Limitation (Workaround)

So today I was working with a client and they mentioned that they were trying to save a site template and move it to another server while retaining the content but the size of the site prohibited this. By default there is a 10MB size limitation built in. Something clicked in my head because I recently found a fix that will increase the size limitation to whatever value you want to make it. Thanks to Todd Bleeker and his new book for this info. Ok so how do we accomplish this?

Type the following using the STSADM utility

stsadm -o setproperty -propertyname max-template-document-size -propertyvalue 50000000

I think its pretty self explanatory with what you can do here… if you have a site that is in excess of 50MB you will use 75000000 or whatever number you come up with.

Hope this helps. Enjoy
