Guys,

I see the following error in the event viewer and sql server logs every min

Login failed for user 'NT-DOMAIN\services'. Reason: Failed to open the explicitly specified database. [CLIENT: <local machine>]

This is to the master database.

SQL runs under NT-DOMAIN\services.

I was able to login into SSMS with the 'NT-DOMAIN\services' and query the master database without any issue. I am not sure why I am seeing this errors in the event viewer and sql logs.

Any suggestions/inputs would help.

Thanks

Are you using MOM on this server?

Probably the login is trying to connect non-existent database, the error looks like a wrong setting connection.
