We recently upgraded our SCCM from version 2309 to 2503 with the latest hotfix. The upgrade process went smoothly with no issues. Just make sure all prerequisites are in place before starting the upgrade
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.

Based on my research, it is possible to upgrade directly from 2403 to 2503.
However, it might be safer and more stable to first upgrade to 2409 and then proceed to 2503. This approach allows you to address any issues incrementally and ensures that your environment is fully prepared for the latest version.
For additional information review:
- Checklist for installing update 2503 for Configuration Manager
- Summary of changes in Configuration Manager current branch, version 2503

I see that link
Here you can see, you can run from version 2309 or later
