Eventually through perseverance by the user it was determined that files greater than 200 Kbytes would fail, but smaller files would upload OK. At last something to Google!

It turns out that by default Windows 2008 server limits file uploads to 200KB in size. To overcome this limit you must edit the ASP Setting as follows:

1. Login to your server
2. Open Up IIS Manager
3. Click on ASP
4. Expand the Limits properties
5. Change the default 200KB for the helpfully named Maximum Requesting Entity Body Limit to the required value.

Once you have saved that change the upload limit will increase for all the websites on that server. Remember, if you are running clustered servers you need to increase this value on each server in the cluster.

• Innovative, enable users to do things they couldn’t do before;
• Impactful, have, or will have, business impact (not just technology for the sake of technology);
• Intriguing, have caught Gartner’s interest or curiosity in approximately the past six months.
