Jerry,

here are some instructions describing how a colleague used workarounds 
and CLR extensions to enable the delivery of spatial information with 
GeoServer and SQL Server 2005:
https://www.seegrid.csiro.au/wiki/Infosrvices/GeoserverMsSqlServer2005Connectivity

This worked well with WFS for simple features and app-schema complex 
features.

This approach has not been tested with WMS; I do not know if there are 
spatial indices, which are IIRC required by WMS.

Kind regards,
Ben.
