Hello guys in this article we are going to discuss about how to use Set-TransportConfig MaxSendSize MaxReceiveSize command in Exchange Server 2013 & 2016. As you might know that Set-TransportConfig command is executed for modification of transport configuration settings for complete Exchange Server.

Set-TransportConfig Command

This command is used for changing configuration settings for whole Exchange Server as I have written earlier. You just need to assign the parameters and the values for which you want to change the settings.
You can see all current configured transport setting by running below CMDLET command:

There are many parameters of Set-TransportConfig command which you can use to change the settings of transport components. But Some Parameter are generally used in organizations, which are MaxReceiveSize and MaxSendSize. You can execute below written command to check the sending and receiving message size.

In the same way you can change the global setting for sending messages size and receiving message size.Just execute below written command to do this:
Set-TransportConfig -MaxSendSize 100 MB -MaxReceiveSize 100MB
But If you want to change the sending and receiving connector size of messages then you have to go with some slight change in writing the command. Just refer below mentioned command to check the current limit of send and receive connector and how to set new size for these connectors:
To get current sending and receiving information
Get-SendConnector | ft name, MaxMessageSize
Get-ReceiveConnector | ft name,MaxMessageSize
To Set the modified sending and receiving size limit
Set-SendConnector “ConnectorName” MaxMessageSize 35MB
