How to add 2nd instance on my laptop

  • I have 2008 r2 installed with default instance. I am wondering If I can add another instance on the same laptop using Name instance so I can practice log shipping in SQL. Or is there another way to do this without Installation CD.

  • Yes, you can.

  • Would you kindly tell me how?

  • The same way you installed the default instance only this time you give it a name.

  • I was told that I have to have CD in order to install name instance (another instance). I don't have the CD

  • If you don't have the media, you aren't going to be able to install another instance. There is no "clone this instance" command to create another instance of MS SQL Server.
