Hi all, just want to share my experience with upgrading 2013 EXCH from CU4 to CU23 followed by patching with KB5000871. whole process takes about 6 hours without a glitch! upgrade steps will be create backup VM (if applicable) > prep schema, AD, domain > restart server > put in maintenance mode > upgrade NET framework 4.8 with elevated command prompt > restart > upgrade CU 23 with elevated command prompt > restart > install KB5000871 with elevated command prompt > restart.
PATCHING DEFINITELY NEEDED. yesterday I started seeing below log. after I did patching, I run check again using Zero Day Check Script.ps1 and Test-Hafnium.ps1 and I did not get that result anymore. perhaps the log get overwritten or CU23 make some changes to Exchange to block that.
