I just found a bunch of red error messages in our BES (v4.0, SP4, using Exchange 2003, SP2) Application Log referring to GraphicsMagick. Here is the description of one of the errors when I open it from the Application Log:

"The description for Event ID ( 0 ) in Source ( GraphicsMagick ) cannot be found. The local computer may not have the necessary registry information or message DLL files to display messages from a remote computer. The following information is part of the event: 20060929081431 0:01 0.563 2268 resize.c unknown 1121 image Error unable to resize image (Negative or zero image size)"

I sent an email to RIM Support asking if the BES uses GraphicsMagick for anything and if I should be concerned about these messages in the App Log. I then received the following email back from them:

Maybe I'm expecting too much, but this seems like a LOT of questions just to find out if the BES actually uses GraphicMagick.......

I've heard that GraphicsMagick is used for some image processing for the Attachment server, but someone else can verify that.

Yes it is part of the attachment service.

That is a lot of questions but if you want to have the issue fixed as well then you should provide the versions.

juwaack, you ever get a resolution on this? it's paging out as if it's a major alarm, but it's one of those errors that i, as an administrator, could honestly care less about. i suppose i'll do some digging tomorrow, but otherwise...

[juwaack68]

Nope, never got an answer. Still curious, but it's not a big deal.

[jibi]

I'll do some research on my own tomorrow. I'll let you know what I find.

juwaack68, I am just curious are you using a local or remote attachment server?
