You need to restart the SQL Service but you don't need a reboot. And yes
make sure the sa account has a very strong password and just record it and
lock it away.This should actually be done even in Windows only mode.

Howdy Everyone,
We wish to change our sql server environment to mixed mode
& because this server is in PROD, I am concerned I may
have missed potential consequences of my actions.
Could someone please verify that I haven't missed a
possible "gotcha's"
This change involves a reboot
No change to existing logins/ databases that have been
setup to use NT authentication.
Make sure SA password has a tough password to crack
It that it ??  I'm not about to slap a gift horse in the
mouth but it seems a little too easy...
TIA
Suze :-)
