Wiki/KB Software that uses SQL Server

I apologize if this is in the wrong forum, but after an upgrade to our company's systems, we have all been reassigned to utilize SQL Servers. I have everything up and running on the backend, but I cannot for the life of me, find a replacement for MediaWiki that we were previously using MySQL for.
Is there any Wiki or knowledgebase software, utilizing SQL Server that we can use? Preferably open-source, or any recommendations for a web-based, team collaboration software that can be run on our Windows Server 2012 with IIS.
Thank you!

And MediaWiki doesn't support SQL Server? There's
a bug report from 2009 about adding support and while it's still marked as "new" it seems to have the right patches ready.

I remember reading through that and believe MediaWiki's official stance was that it wasn't supported.

Not really sure that's an upgrade there...

I'd put some time into figuring out if/how you can get MediaWiki to use SQL Server. Probably easier than switching to a new codebase and having to import all the existing information into it.

The servers received a nice upgrade! Alas, we lost our old Linux boxes and the company mindset shifted toward MS products. I'm not totally at odds with Windows and IIS, but SQL Server is a very interesting change for me.

I guess this is our best bet, I had hoped to get some suggestions on alternatives. I'm ok with tweaking a base install to suit your needs, however I'm not too keen on tweaking to get a base to install.
Thanks for your posts everyone.
