Sametime-related error messages at console after removing Sametime server

If you uninstalled Sametime server from Domino server, or manually removed Sametime task, you can sometimes get following error messages in Domino console:

FAILURE - lRes:2 hKey:0
hRoot:-2147483646 szKey:[SOFTWARE\Lotus\Sametime\STDiagViewer\STDiag1\]

FAILURE - lRes:2 hKey:0
hRoot:-2147483646 szKey:[SOFTWARE\Lotus\Sametime\STDiagViewer\STDiag1\UTIL Configuration API]

These messages are show during the startup of the server. They are not logged in the log.nsf database and can only be seen on console.

In my particular case the Sametime was "removed" by deleting all Sametime-related entries in notes.ini, deleting sametime entry in Windows registry and deleting STADDIN task from the list of tasks in notes.ini.

After searching the Internet, I could not find any solutions to get rid of the irritating console error messages, so I had to investigate it myself. It took a couple of hours to eliminate possible causes and at last I found the solution:
Remove "scs" parameter from servlets.startup= row in servlets.properties file and the error messages will dissapear.
While you are editing servlets.properties file, delete other Sametime-related parameters which IBM masqueraded as important Domino tasks to fool the unsuspecting admins:
auth admin mmapi stcal fileupload rapfile

Usually there are only Sametime-related entries in servlets.properties, so you can probably just delete everything you can see in the file.

If you are getting mentioned error messages even after the startup, this means that users are still trying to access the sametime server using Java Connect client. Delete stsrc.nsf database (which contains the HTML form for launching the Connect client) and the messages will dissapear.
