Without any context where you get the error, it's difficult to say what the fix would be. But 0x54b = 1355 in decimal, and NET HELPMSG 1355 reports The specified domain either does not exist or could not be contacted.

So a possible fix could be to spell the domain name correctly. But it could also be a network issue.

that did not work, but you can change owner (to sa for example) with

ALTER AUTHORIZATION ON DATABASE::YourDbName TO sa;

to see all db owners run

SELECT name, suser_sname(owner_sid) AS DbOwner FROM master.sys.databases;
