Hi there, thanks for your reply - where / how do I add the A record ?

Hi,
The A record is your default ipv4 address for the domain. You can test this stuff yourself instead of posting here. Open a DOS/CMD prompt in either Windows or Linux and type nslookup
To check your mail exchanger you do:
> set type=mx
> peteandlynnekane.com
Your mail records look fine. I am getting:
peteandlynnekane.com MX preference = 10, mail exchanger = mx01.ionos.co.uk
peteandlynnekane.com MX preference = 10, mail exchanger = mx00.ionos.co.uk
To check your name servers you do:
> set type=ns
> peteandlynnekane.com
This looks fine too. I am getting:
peteandlynnekane.com nameserver = ns1103.ui-dns.org
peteandlynnekane.com nameserver = ns1094.ui-dns.com
peteandlynnekane.com nameserver = ns1047.ui-dns.de
peteandlynnekane.com nameserver = ns1070.ui-dns.biz
Here is where the problem is:
> set type=A
> peteandlynnekane.com
Your default ipv4 address is blank.
> set type=AAAA
> peteandlynnekane.com
Your AAAA (ipv6 record) is blank too. But that's probably normal.
Your web host should provide an interface for modifying your DNS records. If not then you need to contact whoever is responsible for managing the DNS records.
> set type=soa
> peteandlynnekane.com
According to your DNS entry... ns1103.ui-dns.org is the authority.
ns1103.ui-dns.org
This looks like a good place to start:

Hi,
DNS changes do not happen immediately. The changes need to propagate to other servers. It is entirely possible that your systems administrator has made changes that are not visible to other DNS servers yet.
peteandlynnekane.com
primary name server = ns1103.ui-dns.org
responsible mail addr = hostmaster.1und1.com
serial = 2017060103
refresh = 28800 (8 hours)
retry = 7200 (2 hours)
expire = 604800 (7 days)
default TTL = 600 (10 mins)
Your zone refresh is set to 8 hours. I've checked all of the major DNS providers and nobody has your A record except your ionos host.
Just give it some time. I checked their servers and they just added both your A and AAAA records.
> peteandlynnekane.com
Server: ns1103.ui-dns.org
Addresses: 2001:8d8:fe:53:0:d9a0:5367:100
217.160.83.103

Ok thanks a lot David - how did you check all of the major DNS providers ( last question honest  )

Hi,

When you type nslookup you can query any public server. Here is how you would query the google public DNS server for your MX record.
C:\Tools>nslookup
> server 8.8.8.8
Default Server: dns.google
Address: 8.8.8.8
> set type=mx
> peteandlynnekane.com
Server: dns.google
Address: 8.8.8.8
Non-authoritative answer:
peteandlynnekane.com MX preference = 10, mail exchanger = mx00.ionos.co.uk
peteandlynnekane.com MX preference = 10, mail exchanger = mx01.ionos.co.uk
Best Wishes,

Given their (sweet sickly) advertising on TV I would expect "your personal assistant" to be able to resolve this in the twinkling of an eye.

Ha ha - I've not seen them on TV - have you any idea what might be wrong here ?
Edit
I just found one of their ads { gagging uncontrollably } on youtube and I see what you mean - don't think I'd have used them had I known

Really? A couple of weeks ago that was all you saw on every ITV ad break. As to your problem, it's as (the other) Peter already mentioned. The DNS routing needs to be set up correctly and ionos will have to do that.

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 ?
"We can't stop here - this is bat country" - Hunter S Thompson - RIP

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.

I think you're right just tried with my phone - as David has said - I've changed a lot of stuff today and I will have to give it time - thanks very much for your help Richard

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.

I just wanted a Linux box to host my net core api as a daemon - don't need visible web pages yet

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?
