Disable list throttling just for one SharePoint list with PowerShell

You have a list that is in the process of getting cleaned up, but you’ve gotta leave your throttle up for functionalities sake until it’s resolved. The list throttle is a Web Application Level setting, so any list/library in any site in any Site Collection in your web app is affected and you don’t know what other lists have now creeped over the limit and  will break once you reduce the threshold back down to the recommended limit of 5000.

Here is a powershell script that will disable the throttle for just one list, that way all of the lists can continue to adheed to the throttle limit while this one particular list can continue to function around it.


Disable throttle for SharePoint list:

$mywebsite = Get-SPWeb “http://portal/site”
$mySPList = $mywebsite.Lists[“ListName”]
$mySPList.EnableThrottling = $false
$mySPList.Update()




Verify throttle for SharePoint list:

$mySPList.IsThrottled




Enable throttle for SharePoint list:

$mySPList.EnableThrottling = $true
$mySPList.Update()
