Can the latest version if IPB use MSSQL or is it forced to use MySQL?

No MS SQL. Only MySQL based

Hmm, is it possible then to have it to where, when someone registers on the site, they're information is also created in a MSSQL database, and turns the password they created into a MD5 Hash?

It’s possible, but you’ll need the MSSQL extension ( https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=20098 ) and you have to create a custom modification to send the data after the registration and to update the row when the PW is changed.

Alternatively, if you already have a centralized membership system outside of IPS, you can create a login handler.

This will allow users to authenticate within IPS4 from your centralized system.
