Hello everybody,

i have a default instance of SQL Server enterprise evaluation edition installed in my laptop. Now i want to create a named instance.

Running setup.exe and mentioning the new instance name in the instance configuration is the only way right?

If yes,

while running the setup.exe for the creation of new instance, if i select only the database engine services in the "Feature selection" step, will my default instance and this newly created instance share all the other features which i selected while installing the default instance?

Thanks and Regards

nope. If you select only database engine service then named instance will only have database component, no other components like integration services, reporting services etc
You will still be able to connect to both instances using client tools (SSMS, Profiler etc) you installed for the default instance so far as your named instance version is not higher than default instance.

Sir,
so now if i select only database engine services from the "Feature selection" step,there be only two services(SQLServer and SQLServer agent) running in the configuration manager right?

Depends on the Edition as well
for example in case of express edition no agent
