How to increase Microsoft outlook desktop PST & OST file size limit up to 100 GB (Maximum)

I have a very large mailbox and luckily my Exchange Online mailbox has a limit of 100GB so I have more than enough storage left for my mailbox. However, the Outlook ost file is apparently a lot more limited as I’m getting synching errors and my ost file is “only” around 50GB in size. I find it odd that they support 100GB mailboxes on Exchange while the recommended maximum ost-file size for Outlook is still 50GB. How can I increase the limit for ost-files and make Outlook support larger mailboxes? In Outlook 2007, the maximum size of a Unicode ost file has been limited to 20GB. In Outlook 2010, 2013, 2016, 2019, 2021, and Microsoft 365, this limit is set to 50GB. Although you can increase this limit beyond 50GB, it is not recommended to do so due to possible performance concerns. However, you are of course free to try and see if your computer can deal with larger ost files. You can increase the maximum ost-file size via the Registry or Group Policy. When your computer can’t deal with larger ost files, then you can still use other techniques to reduce the size of the ost file. These techniques are discussed after the Registry and Group Policy method. Note: The file size settings and restrictions for ost files are handled by the same methods as for pst-files. So whenever you see “pst” in this guide, it also applies to ost files. Method 1: Via the Registry Regedit.exe buttonTo increase the maximum size of an ost-file in Outlook, you’ll need to create and set 2 values in the following location in the Registry; Outlook 2007 HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Outlook\PST Outlook 2010 HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Outlook\PST Outlook 2013 HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Outlook\PST Outlook 2016 / Outlook 2019 / Outlook 2021 / Microsoft 365 HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Outlook\PST The following 2 new DWORD values must be created or set; WarnLargeFileSize Don’t set this higher than 4090445042 (decimal) or f3cf3cf2 (hexadecimal) MaxLargeFileSize Don’t set this higher than 4294967295 (decimal) or ffffffff (hexadecimal) The first value is how many MB a user can write to a pst-file before receiving a warning that the file is full. The second value is how many MB the system can write to a pst-file. This difference has to be at least 5% since there is more written to a pst-file than just user data. Registry Editor - Increase the maximum size of your pst-file via the MaxLargeSize key. In this example, the maximum size of a pst-file has been set to 100GB with a warning at 95GB. Method 2: Via Group Policies Group Policy Editor buttonThe Registry settings mentioned above can be set via Group Policies as well. For instructions on how to use Group Policies see this guide. The settings for adjusting the pst file size can be found in the section Miscellaneous-> PST Settings. The following 2 settings need to be modified; Large PST: Absolute maximum size Don’t set this higher than 4294967295 Large PST: Size to disable adding new content Don’t set this higher than 4090445042 Alternative: Techniques to decrease the ost-file size How? buttonInstead of increasing the size limit of the ost file, it is recommended to prevent the ost file from becoming that large instead. Outlook offers the following methods and settings for that; Ost-files contain compressed mailbox data. As of Outlook 2013, certain content in the ost file is actually being compressed so that it can contain more content while keeping the ost file up to 30% smaller than the actual mailbox. Adjust the Sync Slider. Another feature that Outlook 2013 and later have to keep the ost-file size smaller is the Sync Slider. This allows you to set how long emails should remain cached within the ost file on your local computer. File-> Account Settings-> Account Settings…-> double click on your Exchange account-> move the Sync Slider below: Download email for the past Exchange Account Settings - Offline Settings - Cached Exchange Mode - Sync Slider Move Mailbox data to the Online Archive. When you have an Exchange Mailbox with an Online Archive, for instance with an Office 365 E3 license, you can move the contents out of your mailbox and into your Online Mailbox to reduce the size of your mailbox and thus reduce the size of the ost-file as the Online Archive isn’t being cached locally. Don’t cache Shared Folders and/or Public Folder Favorites. When you have access to Shared Folders, like a Shared Mailbox or a mailbox of a manager or colleague, or configured Public Folder Favorites, then Outlook could be caching these as well. You can turn this off via; File-> Account Settings-> Account Settings…-> double click on your Exchange account-> button: More Settings-> tab: Advanced-> disable: Download shared folders Exchange Account Settings - Advanced - Cached Exchange Mode - Download shared folders

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 1966080 bytes) in /home/…………. /public_html/approval/bulletin/includes/utf/data/confusables.php on line 1

CAUSE
That error is not related to the size of the database. It means that that /confusables.php script is attempting to use more memory than the php memory limit setting for the server. You can override that setting by increasing the memory limit for your account.

RESOLUTION
Overriding System php.ini

Sometimes, your site may require a local adjustment to the default or system-wide php.ini values. This might be to increase the maximum file size allowed to upload through a form, or some other setting.
PHP 4 / Default

This is the default for all accounts. You can use your .htaccess file to override certain php.ini values.

Use the format:
php_value PHP_VARIABLE PHP_VALUE

Most will settings will be identified with php_value, though binary settings (on/off) will use php_flag:
php_value max_upload_filesize 10M
php_flag register_globals off


PHP5 / suPHP

If you enable PHP 5 through cPanel, then you will need to create a custom php.ini and place it in your home directory.
As described in the suPHP doc, .htaccess should contain something like this:
suPHP_ConfigPath /home/username

(php.ini should be placed in your home directory, and not in your public_html folder)

The directives in your php.ini should look like this:
PHP_VARIABLE = PHP_VALUE
Example:
upload_max_filesize = 10M
memory_limit = 32M


PHP 5 / FastCGI

Please use these instructions if you are using FastCGI.

'…….' is not recognized as an internal or external command, error in windows.

RESOLUTION

Go to My Computer-> right click-> Properties->Advanced->Environment
Variables->System variables and locate “PATH”. Add C:\windows\system32 at the
end if it is not already there.

(Click on New->variable name: PATH->Variable value: C:\windows\system32 )

And now run the command. Problem solved...

Basic tips for this Problem OR another way of run commands

1. when we are going to start--> run-->cmd
it will open into the folder
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator---ok
2.when we are giving commands like (ipconfig )means we are trying to execute a .exe file which is under that folder
if it is not there it will then give an error” unrecognized command or file"
3.but when we install the operating system our required file get installed in the folder
C:\WINDOWS\system32
that means if u go to C:\WINDOWS\system32
through dos command and give ipconfig it will work.
5.Then go to C:\WINDOWS\system32 and copy that ipconfig file and place it in
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator
and now run the command. Problem solved...

Clear Windows DNS Cache

Command to reset, flush or clear your DNS cache.


XP remembers negative (DNS unable to resolve) entries for a few minutes. Often this can be a pain when moving and debugging sites. As long as that negative entry sits in your DNS cache, your box will continue to give you a cannot find server error. By cleaning out your DNS cache, you can fix this problem.

Rebooting will flush your cache… but there is an easier way.

Drop to a command box and type:

ipconfig /flushdns

To view the current DNS resolver cache content and the entries preloaded from the Hosts file, go to the command prompt and type

ipconfig /displaydns

If you wish to stop XP from placing negative entries into cache, you can make this change in your registry.

1. Goto HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\ Dnscache\Parameters
2. Build a new DWORD value called NegativeCacheTime and give it a value of 0

I believe the default time is 5 minutes. I always use zero for my default time, but I think the value above is in seconds. So if you only want to save them for 1 minute, then I am assuming you would change that value to 60.
