SharePoint – Disable throttling on a list

If you ever need to disable SharePoint throttling on a specific list instead of the whole web-application.

#URL to the web application site collection.
$URL = "https://sharepoint.contoso.com";
#The list that needs to be configured.
$List = "Tasks";

#Gets the web application site collection.
$WebApplication = Get-SPWeb "$URL";
#Gets the list.
$Content = $WebApplication.Lists["$List"];
#Disable throttling.
$Content.EnableThrottling = $false;
#Update the list.
$Content.Update();
