Can I upgrade my SCCM Server from 2403 directly to 2503 or should I upgrade first to 2409?

Hi,

At the time I have running SCCM 2403 with hotfix. Can I upgrade it directly to the new Version 2503 without any issue? Or should I first upgrade to 2409 with hotfix and then to 2503?

Thank you for help.

You can upgrade directly to 2503 it's cumulative. So it should contain all the fixes and updates from the previous version. 

do check out the official known issues here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/intune/configmgr/core/plan-design/changes/whats-new-in-version-2503

 

and my take here:

Is that correct?
