Have a production server, 12 Enterprise, and we are adding a new app to an existing instance. Nex app needs SSRS and that was not put in the install request a year ago for the instance. :)
I do not think a reboot is required but have been wrong before. Am I wrong again? If so don't tell my wife!
There are no SPs applied to this server and only last week we were given go ahead from one app vendor to apply SPs. That would have been done in monthly maintenance cycle next weekend. Our test server is doing just fine with all apps on SP1.
Thanks for your time.
