Configure attachment size OWA Exchange 2013
I have recently installed an Exchange Server 2013.
I have setup in all Send and Receive connectors a maximum message size of 100MB, through the EAC.
That works fine for Outlook.
However, in OWA, when trying to attach anything larger than 5MB, I get:
"The following files weren't attached because adding them would cause the message to exceed the maximum size limit of 5 MB"
I found this article explaining how to change the message and attachment size limit for OWA, using notepad (really) to edit manually 27 (yes, 27!!) entries in a bunch of config files.
http://technet.microsoft.c om/en-us/l ibrary/hh5 29949.aspx
I went thoroughly through all of them, changed them, and rechecked each one.
I ran a IISRESET after that.
I still have the problem.
I don't know where that '5MB' limit is coming from, but threre wasn't anything in the config files set to 5MB before the change (they were settings to 10MB, 35MB and 64MB, I think) so I'd guess this limit is coming from yet another location that I didn't find yet.

run these cmdlets from Exchange management shell and see what results you get.
get-receiveconnector | foreach{$_ | select Name,Maxmessagesize}
get-sendconnector | foreach{$_ | select Name, MaxMessageSize}
get-transportconfig | select MaxReceiveSize, MaxSendSize
get-receiveconnector | foreach{$_ | select Name,Maxmessagesize}
get-sendconnector | foreach{$_ | select Name, MaxMessageSize}
get-transportconfig | select MaxReceiveSize, MaxSendSize

I'm sorry, I had already setup that limit, I wasn't clear about that.
I checked using
Get-TransportConfig | fl
and this is the output:

Just in case, I also checked in "Organizational Transport Settings" and both "Maximum receive message size" and "Maximum send message size" showed up as 100 MB.
Just in case, I did another iisreset, but the problems continued.
I checked from IE, Chrome and Firefox, from 2 different computers.
I can attach things up to 5MB but when I go beyond that limit, either with one or the sum of attachments, I will get that error message.

I ran all the commands suggested by :
get-receiveconnector | foreach{$_ | select Name,Maxmessagesize}
get-sendconnector | foreach{$_ | select Name, MaxMessageSize}
get-transportconfig | select MaxReceiveSize, MaxSendSize
and each value returned was 100MB
get-receiveconnector | foreach{$_ | select Name,Maxmessagesize}
get-sendconnector | foreach{$_ | select Name, MaxMessageSize}
get-transportconfig | select MaxReceiveSize, MaxSendSize
and each value returned was 100MB

The link that you refered http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh529949.aspx under Outlook Web App section some of the size is mentioned in bytes and kilobytes, did you convert the value correctly?

In the end, it was a stupid thing.
I had already made all changes needed, but a restart of the exchange server, instead of a iisreset, was needed.

Set-transportconfig -MaxSendSize: 100000
OWA does not know how to interpret Unlimited values.
or
Go into "Organizational Transport Settings" and change "Maximum receive message size" and "Maximum send message size" to 100 mb
