I have successfully run a Rails app on a Windows Server 2003 with the backend on SQLServer. It worked. Eventually I managed to convince everyone concerned to migrate to a unix environment with Postgres. Mainly for performance reasons. The solution we came up with was running several Mongrel servers with IIS running as a front end proxy taking the place of what Apache or Nginx would do in a unix environment. This is what we did at the time and it worked fairly well. Just make sure you have lots of RAM available for the app servers and bear in mind # of Mongrels == # of concurrent requests you can handle. But that was many years ago, and in present time I would say if you are in a Windows environment, then your best option would be running jRuby with Tomcat. This is very "windows IT" friendly, they understand Java usually and jRuby is very fast. You will also find a lot more up to date tutorials around regarding getting your rails app running on jRuby.
