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)
