The database owner account is disabled. The database owner account is not a member of the sysadmin fixed server role. The SQL Server service account does not have permission to create new databases on SQL Server. The SQL Server service account does not have permission to drop databases on SQL Server.
Set Owner Failed For Database
Alter authorization on database to domain user, change the owner of the databases before dropping the login.
sql server change database owner, the proposed new db owner already is a user in the database or owns the database.
The following are some common reasons why you cannot alter authorization:
1) The account does not have permission to alter permissions for any objects in this database. In order to change permissions for an object, you must be granted permission on that object. To grant yourself permission, use ALTER ANY OBJECT.
2) The current owner of this object does not allow it to be changed by anyone else. To allow changes by other users, use ALTER ANY OBJECT with CONTROL SERVER or ALTER ANY OBJECT with CONTROL OWNER.
The following error occurs when you attempt to change the owner of a SQL Server database:
Msg 547, Level 20, State 1, Line 1
ALTER AUTHORIZATION failed because the proposed new db owner already is a user in the database or owns the database.
The owner of a SQL Server database can be changed to another user. This is done by altering the authorization on the database to domain user, changing the owner of the databases before dropping the login and then changing the owner back.
The purpose of this article is to show how to change database owner in SQL Server.
1) Alter authorization on the database to domain user
2) Change the owner of each table in the database (make sure that you are logged in as sa or db_owner)
3) Drop user login that you want to change

I have a problem with a database that was restored from backup. The restore went well, but when I tried to use the database, I got the error message: “The owner of this database has failed to start properly (0x80070570). Contact your support personnel.”
I am the only user and it is my own login. I am using SQL Server 2012 on Windows Server 2012R2.
I’ve done some research and read that I need to run the following commands:
ALTER AUTHORIZATION ON DATABASE::[mydb] TO [domain\user];
ALDER CONNECTION TO [domain\user];
I did this and got another error message:
Msg 2415, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
An unknown failure has occurred. The previous errors have been logged.
SQL Server is a relational database management system developed by Microsoft. SQL Server is Microsoft’s response to Oracle Database and IBM DB2. SQL Server is marketed as a relational database management system (RDBMS) that can be used in a wide range of applications, from traditional large-scale enterprise systems to internet applications.
SQL Server has been deployed in both stand-alone and network configurations. The software can be run on a single computer or as part of a cluster of computers that work together to provide greater performance and availability for large-scale data storage and retrieval. SQL Server uses Remote Data Services (RDS), which provides connectivity support for distributed data access across multiple clients and servers within the same network environment.
SQL Server is designed for use on Windows server operating systems; however, it can also be used on Linux, UNIX, and macOS operating systems with the aid of an emulator such as Wine. Additionally, it can be used by non-Microsoft operating systems through ODBC drivers or native drivers.
The proposed new db owner already is a user in the database or owns the database
If the new database owner already exists as a user in the database, then you can change the ownership of the database to that user before you drop the login.
To do so:
1. Alter authorization on database to domain user, for example, ALTER AUTHORIZATION ON DATABASE TO [DOMAIN\User].
2. Change the owner of the databases before dropping the login.
3. Drop Login “LoginName”
SQL SERVER – ALTER AUTHORIZATION ON DATABASE TO DOMAIN USER, CHANGE THE OWNER OF THE DATABASES BEFORE DROPPING THE LOGIN
When you change the owner of a database, you must drop and re-create the login for that user. The user must be able to connect to the database before you drop the login. If you do not perform these steps, then errors may occur when attempting to access the database after changing the owner.
The following example shows how to change an existing user’s permissions on a database:
EXEC sp_changedbowner @loginame = ‘<new_user>’, @map = false;
The proposed new db owner already is a user in the database or owns the database
If you are changing the owner of a database, and the proposed new db owner already is a user in the database or owns the database, then you cannot change the owner of that database.
To resolve this issue, perform one of these actions:
The proposed new db owner already is a user in the database or owns the database.
You can’t change the owner of a SQL Server database if the current owner is a user of that same database or owns another object in that database.
The current owner can be the DBO or any other user that resides in the sysadmin fixed server role.
When you change the ownership, you cannot use an existing login as the new owner. You must create a new login to act as owner for your database.
