The Microsoft® Exchange Server Analyzer Tool queries the Win32_Service Microsoft Windows® Management Instrumentation (WMI) class to determine the value of the Started key for Microsoft Windows SharePoint® Portal Server (MSDMSERV). A value of True indicates that SharePoint Portal Server is running on this Exchange server.

If the Exchange Server Analyzer determines that SharePoint Portal Server is running on an Exchange Server computer, a warning is displayed.

SharePoint Portal Server is not compatible with Exchange Server and should be removed. SharePoint Portal Server and Exchange Server are designed to work together and play a role in your organization's collaborative environment. However, SharePoint Portal Server and Exchange Server are designed to work alongside each other and are not designed to coexist on the same hardware.
