Does adding new SQL 2008 R2 named instance require a reboot?

    I have a SQL 2008 R2 server that I would like to add a named instance to. The new instance will also be SQL Server 2008 R2.

    My question is, does installing a new named instance to a SQL Server 2008 R2 server require a reboot?

    Also since I have never had the need to install a named instance on any of my SQL Servers, are there any tips, concerns or gotchas that I should be aware of prior to installing the named instance.

    Thank you,

    Pat

    I am also in the process of installing a new instance on a sql 2008 cluster. I am going over this documentation right now:

    This might help!

    Thanks, I actually found a test machine to try it out on. I just completed the named instance installation and it did not require a reboot.
