Currently on CU19 and .NET 4.8 - upgrading to latest CU23 okay?

Question
-
I remember back in the CU15 to CU21 times M$ caught a lot of slack for their unpreparedness with older .NET versions and Exchange 2013.
I've currently got an Exchange 2013 CU19 with .NET 4.8. Are there any known issues with going directly from CU19 to CU23? Do I need to do anything special or performed a half-step upgrade first (to something in between)?
TIA!

Hi
You can go directly to CU23, however if you are on .net 4.8 on an unsupported CU it can cause issues so i advise you upgrade as soon as possible. .NET 4.8 is only supported on CU23.

Hi Alceryes,
Because each CU is a full installation of Exchange and includes updates and changes from all previous CU's, and.NET Framework 4.8 can be used with CU23 according to the supportability matrix in this official link, so agree with Edward that you can go directly to CU23.As regards to your concern about the known issues, according to the release note of CU23, there is a known issue that The Set-SendConnector cmdlet does not work for Exchange Server 2013 in hybrid scenarios that have a Edge server installed. But a workaround has been provided and documented in KB 4523519.
Hope this can be helpful.Regards,
Yuki Sun

Thanks for your answers - all good on the upgrade.
Just had the stupid IIS virtual directories certificate reset that always seems to occur with Exchange upgrades but that was expected.
