Status Manager in Enterprise Templates

(Project Server 2007) Hi everyone.

About six months ago I created Enterprise Project Templates for all the
instances in our Project Server. They had been working fine, but yesterday I
was doing some tests using another account (one of my PM's account) to
connect to Project Professional, open a new Template, save the project and
publish it. Doing so, I noticed that I always remained as the STATUS MANAGER
and ASSIGNMENT OWNER of every task on the Project. This wasn't happening
before. I did the same test on different computers and with different
accounts, but I have the same issue: The person who creates the Template
remains as the STATUS MANAGER and ASSIGNMENT OWNER.

Some facts:
- A couple of weeks ago I updated the original templates and overwrote them.
- Yesterday I created new templates with differentent accounts and the
problem persists.
- Same thing happening in all of the Project Server instances
- The PROJECT OWNER field is working fine because it shows the person whose
account I'm using to save and publish the project.
- Haven't deployed SP1 or IU (but as I said: this wasn't happening before)

What can I do? I'm kind of desperate because of this. I need to solve this
before PM's come back from vacations. Thanks for your help.

OOTB originally, the Status Manager on a template was whoever saved it was on
Summary and Detail tasks, but many users requested that it should be whoever
opened the template and saved the template would be the Status Manager, you
had to change the Status Manager one by one, then later a fix came to allow
fill down. So Microsoft fixed the Detail tasks with QFE #19347 but not the
Summary tasks. Subsequently in October CU, QFE #22100 it was fixed on Summary
tasks.

So get the updates applied and this should be fixed.
