SBS2011 Disabling SharePoint because of problems
Solution 1
It seems uninstalling SharePoint is a bad idea on SBS2011.
I've disabled it to fix alot of the Event Log errors, but also came across a technet article which is a PSConfig command you have to run from the console to reset it after a SharePoint update (which breaks Windows Backup amongst many other things!).
In order to update the SharePoint databases, you must manually run the PSconfig utility. To run the utility:
- Open an Administrative command prompt.
- Change directory to
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\BIN
. - Run
PSConfig.exe -cmd upgrade -inplace b2b -force -cmd applicationcontent -install -cmd installfeatures
.
Solution 2
Disabling Sharepoint isn't the answer because of it's integration with the server overall.
Instead, please follow the recommendations in these articles to limit memory use for Monitoring and Sharepoint:

Anyone with any definite ways to disable Sharepoint on SBS2011?
I can find no specific 'How To' or instructions on the Microsoft site, only mentions of it on technet without much other information.
Examples:
I have a remote SBS2011 running Exchange servicing 5 users (2 of them full time) with huge performance issues (only 12GB RAM). I have restricted the Exchange message store (which has made a difference) but would also like to disable SharePoint as none of it's features are used and it is causing errors. Along with the Backup not working!
