Setting the maximum record cap from a CLI
     You can use ConfigManager.exe from a Command Line Interface (CLI) to
      set the farm maximum record cap. 
  
    Note: This operation, performed from a
      CLI, is intended primarily for system administrators working with customers in a cloud
      environment. Customers working in an on-premises installation environment can use the
        Configuration Manager utility to accomplish the same ends. 
    Setting the maximum record cap
Use this command line syntax:
ConfigManager.exe -U:CS -mode:mode -key:FarmMaxRecordCap -value:nn
where:
modeis an action that is specified as new, edit, or delete.nnis the numeric value for the key.
Example
ConfigManager.exe -U:CS -mode:edit -key:FarmMaxRecordCap
            -value:200Note: 
-key is case sensitive.
