I am looking for a motherboard that can run 2 Intel Core i7-6700K 8M Skylake Quad-Core in it for a server I am building, it will use windows 7. Does anyone know of a motherboard that can do this?

There are no LGA 1151 multi socked motherboards. Also there are no consumer-grade LGA2011 motherboards.

For that use case you either want to take a look on a 8 core/16 thread i7 (which are unlocked) for the LGA2011 platform of a Xeon (which are locked) on it's desired, server/workstation-grade platforms.
For the Xeon chips there are dual socket boards and CPUs from 4 cores/8 threads all the way up to 24 cores/48 threads.

There are none as stated by other people to. I discovered that while playing around in pcpartpicker.com one day. The ones that can be in a motherboard with 2 cpu sockets are Xeon chips. Those are meant for server based application like the one you're talking about.
