1. Run a tool to automatically convert MySQL sentences to T-SQL,
2. Intensive use of Find&Replace can make the work too. As an example:

    CREATE TABLE `chavrusas` (
    `id` int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment,
    `date_created` datetime default NULL,
    `luser_id` int(11) default NULL,
    `ruser_id` int(11) default NULL,
    `luser_type` varchar(50) default NULL,
    `ruser_type` varchar(50) default NULL,
    `SessionDay` varchar(250) default NULL,
    `SessionTime` datetime default NULL,
    `WeeklyReminder` tinyint(1) NOT NULL default '0',
    `reminder_phone` tinyint(1) NOT NULL default '0',
    `calling_card` varchar(50) default NULL,
    `active` tinyint(1) NOT NULL default '0',
    `notes` mediumtext,
    `ended` tinyint(1) NOT NULL default '0',
    `end_date` datetime default NULL,
    `initiated_by_student` tinyint(1) NOT NULL default '0',
    `initiated_by_volunteer` tinyint(1) NOT NULL default '0',
    `student_general_reason` varchar(50) default NULL,
    `volunteer_general_reason` varchar(50) default NULL,
    `student_reason` varchar(250) default NULL,
    `volunteer_reason` varchar(250) default NULL,
    `student_nli` tinyint(1) NOT NULL default '0',
    `volunteer_nli` tinyint(1) NOT NULL default '0',
    `jnet_initiated` tinyint(1) default '0',
    `belongs_to` varchar(50) default NULL,
    PRIMARY KEY  (`id`)
    ) ENGINE=MyISAM AUTO_INCREMENT=5913 DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1;

Find: \s`
Replace with [

Find: `\s
Replace with: ]

Find: PRIMARY KEY (id)
Replace with: CONSTRAINT PK_[SOME IDENTIFIER] PRIMARY KEY ([$1])

Find: ENGINE=MyISAM AUTO_INCREMENT=5913 DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1;
Replace with: ;

a few more Find&Replace and you’ll get this script, T-SQL compliant:

CREATE TABLE [chavrusas] (
[id] INT IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL ,
[date_created] datetime  NULL,
[luser_id] INT NULL,
[ruser_id] INT NULL,
[luser_type] varchar(50)  NULL,
[ruser_type] varchar(50)  NULL,
[SessionDay] varchar(250)  NULL,
[SessionTime] datetime  NULL,
[WeeklyReminder] INT NOT NULL,
[reminder_phone] INT NOT NULL,
[calling_card] varchar(50)  NULL,
[active] INT NOT NULL,
[notes] TEXT,
[ended] INT NOT NULL,
[end_date] datetime  NULL,
[initiated_by_student] INT NOT NULL,
[initiated_by_volunteer] INT NOT NULL,
[student_general_reason] varchar(50)  NULL,
[volunteer_general_reason] varchar(50)  NULL,
[student_reason] varchar(250)  NULL,
[volunteer_reason] varchar(250)  NULL,
[student_nli] INT NOT NULL,
[vvolunteer_nli] INT NOT NULL,
[jnet_initiated] INT,
[belongs_to] varchar(50)  NULL,
