The strange thing is, I've now disassociated my domain name from my Linode box and reset the namservers and everything else to defaults but dig is still returning the ip of my Linode box - I know DNS can take a while but it normally is pretty quick at updating itself
Thanks for your time

Hi Richard if you want to have a poke about the domain is http://peteandlynnekane.com/
Nothing on there to worry about

It seems something is still not set up properly.
This site can’t be reached
peteandlynnekane.com’s server IP address could not be found.
Try running Windows Network Diagnostics.

Hi Richard how did you try to connect to the site ?

I clicked the link (and just tried again), and then tried typing the full address preceded by http and https. All came back with the same message peteandlynnekane.com’s server IP address could not be found.. So something in the public DNS search is missing. It's years since I had to set this up for a site so I cannot remember the exact process, but it has something to do with special record types on a server that point to the public IP address of your site.

Still the same. I suspect that whichever system you are using to access it has a DNS entry in its hosts file, or on a local DNS server that is not available to the rest of the world.

A brief overview of what I did first time around
1) I bought a domain name from ionos.com primarily to get a batch of personaliased email addresses
2) Further on down the line I wanted to test some of my API services in a realish world situation so I bought a VM from Linode.com and installed everything required
** I don't think I should have done the next step. **
3) I then changed the default ionos nameservers ( I must of read that I needed to do this ) to the linode ones in an effort to point my domain to the linode box ( I think this is what screwed my email and is totally unneccessary )
Today with help from you guys on here I have a better understanding of what I need to do
What I didn't realise was
1) When I bought the domain with the email package it didn't come with an A record because it didn't need one ( I also didn't know what an A record was  ).
2) It came with MX records configured because it neded them.
3) I think by my changing the nameservers my email accounts could not receive email but could send.
Ok this is how I have my setup after all todays shenanigans
After todays education I've realised ( and done ) all I need to do is -
Get the public ip of my Linode box and put it in an A record on my ionos.com account.
End result
The domain is found out in the wild and directed to my Linode box
My email now works
Happy days and thanks to you all

Well done. But why did you not buy a website from ionos at the same time as the email addresses? Too pricey perhaps.

Hi Pete, all working now - and it even gets the time right.

Yes, it was my ignorance of DNS and other things - did you read my post explaining what I think I did wrong ? I naively thought the domain would be publicly available ( I didn't think that of course there wasn't a web server runnning on it ) - still don't know how I could get at it though - I don't have any DNS setup locally or any entries in host files either.

Yes it all makes sense. And it was good to relearn about A and MX records, and the others.

I have about 30 VB Apps that are humming along on a Windows 2008 server using scheduled tasks. They all do a variety of simple to complex tasks from pulling data and merging letters on a monthly basis, posting data on our website, converting data to crystal reports, etc.
It’s now past the time for us to get off of our Windows 2008 server so I’m taking the apps and converting them up from Visual Studio 2012 to Visual Studio 2019. No real hurdles. Everything is converting fairly clean and running great.
Problems begin when I set the apps up on Windows Server 2019. We have a user that is used for processing tasks and has the appropriate rights on the server. If the tasks are setup to run overnight and I leave the server signed on, the tasks process fine. If I sign off of the server the tasks show that they ran and that they completed successfully, but never finish processing. The status shows they completed at the same time the schedule is triggered, and most of the tasks normally should run 15 minutes to an hour.
Nothing in the event log to say it failed, and I have a good bit of error code built into each program that would fire an error if one was triggered.
The task is setup to “Run whether user is logged on or not”, and also “Run with highest privileges”.
Did something change since 2008 regarding scheduled tasks that I should be aware of? Any suggestions / help with this is appreciated. I’ve Googled it, but haven’t had much luck.

Have you raised it with Microsoft, or checked the documentation to see what changes there are?

From research it seems like Microsoft rewrote scheduled tasks due to some security issues. It seems like scheduled tasks only handle items that are non-interactive.
All my tasks don't have any interaction, but they do tasks with applications like Attachmate Reflections to pull data from our HP3000.
I've tried to make a test app as non-interactive with no background screens popping up, or anything, but it still doesn't work.
I'm putting debug statements in this program to see if I can find where it is bailing even though Microsoft says it finished successfully.

I started an MSDN call today. We'll see what happens.

I am pretty much strictly an application developer. I developed an application in my development environment and it needs now to go into an intranet production environment. I will provide the specific details below but my experience in the past has been create the deployment package and give it over to the network guys for them to deploy. Now, I find myself in a position where I have to do the actual production deployment. I have read many articles and watch several videos but really still don't have a good understanding of the actual steps in setting up the server, network components, and configuring the application and network to actually do the move of the application from my development network to the production intranet network. The server is a Windows 2012 r2 server. I will be deploying to the server's IIS. A URL for the application must end in a .mil extension which is the external intranet domain. Can anyone provide me with the basic list of steps in order to do the deployment?

I have two accounts at my work - network account and windows account, with network account I don't have admin privileges - but with Windows account I have admin privileges, I usually login using standard network account so that I can access everything that's available in our network but when I need to install something I am entering the Windows Admin account credentials and installing the software - now I have a question, when installing it gives me message its installed successfully and after restarting the machine when I try to open the IIS - it opens us wizard as iSCSI Initiator Properties Wizard, I don't know - what is Target is?, what should I enter in it, just no idea - just not able to understand - any help please, what's happening with my IIS? thanks a lot.

iSCSI has nothing to do with IIS. It appears that the shortcut you are using to open IIS control panel does not lauch the right tool. Recheck everything: whether IIS is installed with its management panel and required components, and what the link you are using to launch it points to.

Hi - we were using TFS for our application, but we were doing deployments manually by using xcopy process, literally, publishing the files onto a local machine - then copying and pasting onto the Servers WebApp folder, now we have moved all our code to Git and TFSVC, now I want to make our build process automatic, any help suggestions or help please, I am new in Source Control Management, any help would be appreciated even links, I am also researching and reading about it - thanks in advance.
Basically I am looking for a Continuous Integration solution for Windows, TFSVC and Git (Git is running on TFSVC Server) with these any free tools to implement Continuous Integration? Any help please?

I have read several tutorials how to manipulate (Linux) "hosts" file.
I need to "connect" Raspberry Pi to PC , using bluetooth.
I really do not care which is server or client end of the connection.
I like to test each piece of hardware by doing local loopback first.
I would like to run such local loopback on each end of the connection separately , using separate code application. I do have the basic - socket / bind / read / write working.
I understand that local "loopback" IP is in range 127.0.0.0 to 127.255.255.255.
1. Can I "bind" created socket to name "localhost" to run such local loopback - using 32 bit address?
2. How can I do same using 128 bit address, ip6 protocol ? AKA how to put ip6 "name" into my C++ code ? ::1 has "multiple" names
3. Is doing "remote loopback" feasible?
Ideally - instruct LOCAL hardware to connect via socket to REMOTE hardware running in "remote loopback"? Or in another words - is there REMOTE loopback IP ? Or do I have to have remote software to emulate such loopback?
4. The communication / socket from (local) RPi woudl "connect / bind " to which IP on remote (PC) hardware?
5. Similar - the communication / socket from (local) PC woudl bind to which IP on now remote - RPi hardware?
Item 5 and 6 would be in "simplex" communication - each one way only - at least for now.
I have not found a decent description of ip6 "names" .
For example -what does ip6-allnodes accomplish ?
Here is a copy of RPi hosts file
127.0.0.1 localhost
::1 localhost ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
127.0.1.1 ARM
10.0.1.76 RPI
And here is hosts file on PC
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.1.1 z-desktop
# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
Minor comments / questions
The RPi has only ONE bluetooth hardware , but in hosts it has TWO IP addresses / names
The PC has THREE bluetooth hardware, but blutooth manager will identify only TWO.
Appreciate any constructive comments.

The loopback address is always 127.0.0.1, as shown in your hosts files.
1. You bind sockets to IP addresses, not names. So use the appropriate system call to find the correct local address for the name you wish to bind.
2. Use the first name in the hosts file. Multiple names just provide aliases for the address.
3. Not sure what you mean. Loopback by definition is local to the hardware on which the code is running.
4. The client should connect to the server's public address. That is to say, when the server sets up a listening socket, the client needs to know the server's listening address. In internet terms that would be the address found by using DNS lookups. In your tests you just need to hardcode the address in the client code.
5. see 4.
6. The other IP6 names are (probably) use for broadcast messages. Check the relevant RFC document for details.
