I logged into the SQL server opened the mapped windows account by opening the following:
SQL server>Security>Logins>DOMAIN\SP_Service
Right click on account select properties. From there go to ‘User Mapping’ and check the target database and add db_owner and public permission set for that user. In addition I added the account ‘DOMAIN\SP_Service’ as the default Schema. Your mileage may vary but you get the idea. Just fill in your domain info as needed.  IISReset Followed
