I have the CTP of 2005 SE on my laptop and when I am connected to the company network all is fine. But when I'm not advanced functions complain that the DB I want to work on does not have a valid owner. I wanted to work on making a diagram at home but the diagram designer has this complaint.
My AD login is cached and my "connected as" information shows the same in management studio in both situations: "AD\User"
The strange thing is that I tried making a new DB with a simple set of test diagrams while disconnected from the network and the thing has the same complaint. How can I do work requiring ownership rights on a DB while disconnected from the company network? Why if I make a new DB with whatever it thinks my disconnected logon is, does it think I'm still not the owner??
Thanks for any help,
Magarity

Interesting.
Are your sysadmin permissions granted through a domain group, or is AD\User a member of sysadmin?
Theoretically this shouldn't matter though. You're cached details will still have the relevant tokents for group memberships.

No, AD\Users are not sysadmins. I am in an AD group membership for admins. Maybe it can't verify the wider AD admin group but the admin for the laptop still works somehow? As far as WinXP is concerned I'm that user whether connected or not. And I've just double checked and the problem is consistently occurring. It's either be connected or not be the owner of the DB for the create diagram function. I can delete the database but I can't make a diagram which has some small entertainment value.
Anyway, I installed 2005CTP with just the defaults... nothing fancy, but I did install it while connected to the network. Has anyone else had this problem or have the ability to test it to see if it's just me?
