title: Error: 18456, Severity: 14, State: 38 Reason: Failed to open the explicitly specified database 'ReportServer'. [CLIENT: <local machine>]
body: <p>I'm facing a situation which every 10 seconds an error log is recorded with the following msg:</p>
  
  <pre><code>2018-07-25 09:07:09.59 Logon       Error: 18456, Severity: 14, State: 38.
  2018-07-25 09:07:09.59 Logon       Login failed for user 'svc_sql'. Reason: Failed to open the explicitly specified database 'ReportServer'. [CLIENT: &lt;local machine&gt;]
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>In my instance I don't have a 'ReportServer' database. I know that in the past the server was migrated to a new machine and I reckon the 'ReportServer' database was created with a new name in the new server. I really don't know how the migration was done.</p>
  
  <p>I've activated the SQL_Profiler with all audit options and I could see that this user also executes a procedure sometimes.</p>
  
  <p>I've checked the default database for this user and it's Master.</p>
  
  <p>Any ideas how can I fix this issue? My error log is flooding with this message.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks a lot.</p>
  
  <p>Rod </p>
