The hit counter (sharepoint designer) is not working for MOSS SP2

Issue with the hit counters no longer working in MOSS , this is one of the issues after MOSS SP2 deployment and happen.

Microsoft has confirmed that this functionality was a FrontPage Server Extension holdover from the previous versions of SharePoint and they never intended for it to continue working in MOSS.

The latest service pack (SP2) finally saw the removal of the hitcounter functionality from MOSS. Microsoft’s official recommendation is to use the Site Usage Reports (Site Actions –> Site Administration/Site Collection Administration –> Site/Site Collection Usage Reports)

Use PowerShell ADSI provider to add domain group to Local Admin group

ha ha, as i am not Domain administrator so not using much script to add user. This morning have one task need me to add some security team  to 5 server, so thiking to try about the powershell. so below is the simple script have created : (is not perfect but is working fine :) )
*servers.txt is all your servers name going to add in.

$serverList = 'C:\servers.txt'
$names = get-content $serverList
$Admins = [ADSI] 'WinNT:///'
foreach ($name in $names)
{
Write-Host 'Adding Admins to' $name
#get the local group
$localAdminGroup = [ADSI]("WinNT://$name/Administrators")
#add the global group to the local group
$localAdminGroup.Add($Admins.PSBase.Path)
}

This script have a bug , that is once the group is available at the target server then will stop and give error :). ha ha , either u write the if statement to catch it or just make sure all your server is not exist the name you want to add . ha ha..is simple, but is very fun for me to find out it.
