Working with MS Dynamics CRM OData could be so tiring when you are tyring to pull all the records you have and you can only get 50 records pulled.

I came across this limitation when I was working on the application that needs to retreive records and display on a page, that can then be searched live. $top won't work because the "MaxResultsPerCollection" has been config as 50 in the MSCRM_Config table. Here is how to increase number of records retreived.

Open up your power shell and type the follow:

Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.Crm.PowerShell
$setting = New-Object "Microsoft.Xrm.Sdk.Deployment.ConfigurationEntity"
$setting.LogicalName = "ServerSettings"
$setting.Attributes = New-Object "Microsoft.Xrm.Sdk.Deployment.AttributeCollection"
$attribute = New-Object "System.Collections.Generic.KeyValuePair[String, Object]" ("MaxResultsPerCollection", 75)
$setting.Attributes.Add($attribute)
Set-CrmAdvancedSetting -Entity $setting

Where 75 indicates the number you are increasing the retrieved results to. See below for visual guide.

Hope this is helpful..
