    1. For CRM Online, there is not much you can do. Though it has reasently been increased to 20000 entities.
      On Premise you can hack the setting for the application to retrieve as much as you want. Now - deending on the ressources assigned to sql server and number of users, you might not want to do this. It does have an impact on performance.
      For On Premise see here how to configure it.....:
      In Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0, you can change the maximum number of records by changing a database value.

      Follow the steps below to make the change at the database level in CRM 4.0

      Open SQL Mangement Studio
      Use the _MSCRM database
      Open the OrganizationBase table
      Locate the column – MaxRecordsForExportToExcel
      Change the value to the new value
