Remote client exceeded allowed maximum

I am running the following PowerShell command to merge outlook safe sender list for all users.

Get-Mailbox -ResultSize Unlimited | Set-MailboxJunkEmailConfiguration -TrustedSendersAndDomains @{Add='corp@doamin1.com','admin@domain2.com'}

But receiving the following error:

Sending data to a remote command failed with the following error message: The total data received from the remote client exceeded allowed maximum. Allowed maximum is 524288000. For more information, see the about_Remote_Troubleshooting He
lp topic.
+ CategoryInfo : OperationStopped: (System.Manageme...pressionSyncJob:PSInvokeExpressionSyncJob) [], PSRe
motingTransportException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : JobFailure

Can you please advise.

On this note, if I run the above for few users then it is working perfectly. And while searching with the above error in the following link someone suggested the following:

"Powershell has a hard limit of 524288000.

The value for the powershell limit is in web.config file.

To increase the limit, increase the value and then recycle the app pool or iisreset"

Not sure where I will be able to edit the web.conf file, if so, then what would be the impact and how to edit that file,

Need advise is there any way to execute the command without error.

Get-Mailbox -ResultSize Unlimited | Set-MailboxJunkEmailConfiguration -TrustedSendersAndDomains @{Add='corp@doamin1.com','admin@domain2.com'}

Thanks,

Create BigData profile on remote machine aswell

you should then see
S C:\Windows\system32> New-PSSession -Computername PEP-HV -ConfigurationName BigData

Id Name ComputerName State ConfigurationName Availability
-- ---- ------------ ----- ----------------- ------------
4 Session4 PEP-HV Opened BigData Available

use enter-pssession id to enter the session

Thanks Simon, the I tried with that but still notice that emails those are external addresses are still going to outlook junk email folder, it surely works for internal domain address, but for some external addresses it is going to outlook junk email folder for that intend to merge outlook safe sender list to attend the issue.

Thanks Scobber, in the last command the error that I was receiving, after running winrm quickconfig command followed the parameter then I saw the mentioned output you provided. But I tried to get the session and while running the PS command still receiving the same error, the PSsession big data most-likely updating for Power Shell not Exchange Management Shell and hence I was encountering the same error.

To attend the issue I run the same Power Shell command across each exchange database and it resolved the issue. and also tried to run for distribution group limiting members it also works.

Thank you once again Simon and Scobber for providing me insight to resolve the issue.
