You cannot upload files that are larger than 28 MB on a Windows Server 2008-based computer that is running Windows SharePoint Services 3.0

When you run Windows SharePoint Services on a Window Server 2008-based computer that is also running Internet Information Services 7.0, you cannot upload files that are larger than 28 megabytes (MB). You experience this problem even though you have configured the large file upload settings according to Microsoft Knowledge Base article 925083.
For more information, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
925083 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/925083/ ) Error message when you try to upload a large file to a document library on a Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 site: "Request timed out"



To work around this problem, follow these steps:
1. Use Notepad to open the Web application Web.config file. By default, this file is in the following folder:
Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services 3.0
C:\Inetpub\Wwwroot\Wss\VirtualDirectories\ VirtualDirectoryFolder

Windows Small Business Server 2008
C:\Program Files\Windows Small Business Server\Bin\webapp\InternalWebSite

2. Add the following code to the section of the Web.config file:

<system.webServer>
<security>
<requestFiltering>
<requestLimits maxAllowedContentLength="52428800">
</requestFiltering>
</security>
</system.webServer>


Note This code sets the value of the maxAllowedContentLength property to 52428800. Therefore, the maximum file size of an uploaded file is 52428800 bytes. However, set the value of this property so that it is larger than the file that you are trying to upload. Also, set the value of this property so that it is larger than the maximum file upload size that you have configured in SharePoint. If you do not, users will not receive an error message that they are exceeding the size limit if they try to upload a file that is larger than the maximum file upload size that you have configured in SharePoint.

Changing Content Type Hub URL

Change the Hub URL through powershell by using: Set-SPMetadataServiceApplication -Identity " " -HubURI " " For Ex: Set-SPMetadataServiceApplication -Identity "Managed Metadata Service" -HubURI "http://contenttype.Domain.Com" When you try to do this you get this rather scary message: This is SharePoint telling you that this is a major thing so be careful! Essentially all your content types that you have published out will be removed if they can, and you have to republish all of your content types out again which can cause some issue.
