Looking for an upgrade or migration path to move from 4.2.2 to 5.0 without loosing domain membership.

Actually, that doesnt rteally work, I would personally wait on 4.2 until 5 is stable...right now its not booting right and the network is broken entirely until you restart the network services after every reboot.

Thank you for the info. I will keep an eye out for stability improvements. guess I am sticking with 4.2.1 for now. :(

Watch the thread where we talk about the various issues. Zentyal isnt built to be stable its built to be tinker-friendly anyways, since 3 or so. I could never have it in a production environment, especially since devs don't seem to have the bugs everyone else is having. That said, if you only need ad integration and a hardware router then, you should download the update. Samba IS broken totally, more so than 4.2. Command line works but zentyal changes prevent that from working through a reboot. GUI is lacking half the time, but it is on ubuntu proper so you can just use the command line to install whatever you want, thats what I do.

Any more information on this topic. Really do not want to loose the membership of my windows clients and other devices that are registered. So I see it as the following steps that need details:
- Upgrade OS from 14.x to 16.x
- Upgrade Zentyal from 4.2.2 to 5.x
If this is not possible is there some sort of back I can do of the samba database and import into a fresh 5.x system.
TIA

With AD/LDAP, the normal method is to stand up another server, let everything replicate to the new server, and then decommission the old server. Assuming you have a virtual environment available, that should be easy. Even if you don't, just install VirtualBox on your workstation and use that to run an install of Zental 5.0 temporarily.
