How to Really Increase the Max File Size in MSCRM (v3.0)

This comes from one of my co-workers:

Step 1:
In the Web.config file, override the value of maxRequestLength for the application. For example, the following entry in Web.config allows files that are less than or equal to 8 megabytes (MB) to be uploaded:
<httpRuntime maxRequestLength="8192" />

Real Example: <httpRuntime executionTimeout="3000" maxRequestLength="51000"/>
Comments: I increase the Timeout from 300 to 3000 to allow more time on the upload. The file size is set to max at 51 MB.

Step 2:
(**Be careful when making changes to the Registry, it's always safer to back up the Registry, or at least the hive you're changing, just in case something breaks.**)

Change the following registry key to reflect the maximum number of bytes in decimal:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MSCRM\maxuploadfilesize
Real Example: Make sure you set the Decimal value to the number of bytes. So 50 MB converts to 52428800 bytes, or I put 53000000.

Step 3:
Reset Internet Information Services (IIS). To do this, click Start, click Run, type iisreset, and then click OK.
Real Example: CMD --> IISRESET

Hope this comes in handy.
