Property Owner is not available for Database 'DBNAME'

Property Owner is not available for Database 'DBNAME'. This property may not exist for this object, or may not be retrievable due to insufficient access rights. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo)

I am getting this error when trying to 'right click' a properties on the database.
Does anyone know how to fix this ?

I've tried following:

use DBNAME
EXEC sp_changedbowner 'myUser'

Getting the following message:


The proposed new database owner is already a user or aliased in the database.

Any Ideas how to fix this ?

myUser is probably already a database user. You shoudl be passing a login principal to the stored procedure. Do something like this:

use DBNAME
go

exec sp_changedbowner 'myLoginThatShouldBeDBO'
go
