user - login - alias mismatch

Hi,

After loading a database I found that

SELECT * FROM sysusers returns

       suid  uid  gid  name
       ----  ---  ---  ----
before    1    1    0  dbo
 after   14    1    0  dbo

suid 1 is sa while suid 14 is a login with sso and sa priviledges.
All our database users are aliased to dbo.
This move(load) seems that have broken something.
Is there a way to change the suid for dbo?

thanks

You need to turn on "allow update to system tables" and then run an update that makes the 
suid values in the database match those that are in the syslogins table in the master 
database.  I used to have a script to do this but it has been too long since I needed.

You can try the stored procedure
"sp_chanegdbowner, sa, true".  The true will transfer the aliases to the 
new database owner.  If the database was loaded from another server, the 
suid of users may change.  You may need to drop and re-add aliases to 
insure correct access. 
Use "select suser_name(suid) Uname, suser_name(altsuid) AliasTo
from sysalternates"  to list current aliases.

Give this a try.  It works for us.

sp_configure "allow updates",1
go
use <yourdatabase>
go
UPDATE sysusers
SET sysusers.suid = syslogins.suid
FROM DBSglep.dbo.sysusers sysusers, master.dbo.syslogins syslogins
WHERE sysusers.name = syslogins.name
go
sp_configure "allow updates",0
go
