Microsoft SQL Server

I've seen a couple of posts that state that people are running SugarCRM on IIS and SQL Server. Does that work "out of the box" or did those users customize it themselves? SQL Server is not mentioned as a supported database in the documentation as far as I can tell. I have a new server here that we are going to install on and while I think we are going to be tied to using IIS as our web server we do not necessarily have to use the very expensive SQL Server licenses we have so I might not install it. I might prefer to install on that instead of mysql because I want it to be easy for somebody else to administer should I leave the company.

Sugar works fine on IIS, if you use IIS 6 it is recommended to have PHP in ISAPI mode rather then CGI. A number of PHP session handling problems were determined when running in CGI mode. Sugar will not work with MSSQL, but MySQL is pretty light and easy to run on windows.
