1. Backup - ensure you have any suitable available backups.
2. Patch them in an order that keeps the systems online.
3. If you are really concerned open a one off MS case in advance of the patching.
4. Sorry I have no documentation for this as I do not know your specific config although I have a rough idea at overview.

i did not get the below  ???

CU19 for Exchange 2013 was released on Tue 19 Dec.  As a result, only CU18 and CU19 are supported.  Therefore, no need to upgrade from CU13 (unsupported) to CU17 (unsupported).  

and also for below , are you sure ?? is there any article that mentioned this

Also, is  Hybrid configuration wizard need to be run after all Exchange server updated to latest CU ?
and also we are having  .net framework 4.5 on all servers ?? so we need to upgrade .net framework to 4.6.2  ? and what is the procedure..
You stated in your original request, that you are planning to upgrade to the latest CU --which you stated as CU17.  CU17 is no longer supported by Microsoft.

You can make an attempt to upgrade directly to CU19 however, you may be prompted to install .NET Framework 4.6.2 at a minimum.  But keep in mind, .NET Framework 4.7.1 is now supported with CU19 and will be a requirement come June 2018.  I would recommend installing 4.7.1 after CU19 is installed so you do not have to do it later.

Not exact on the current update process, but this is what it looked like when CU16 was released...
With CU16 for Exchange 2013 and newer, .NET Framework 4.6.2 is a requirement.  If you are upgrading from a CU version prior to CU16, you must upgrade Exchange 2013 to CU15 first, then upgrade to .NET Framework 4.6.2, and finally upgrade Exchange 2013 to one of the newer, supported CUs.
as per customer need, we need to update to Cu17 not the latest one,.

so can we install directly from cu13 to Cu17 ? and before cu17 install, do we need to update .net framework 4.6.2 ?

so according to you,
first i can install .net framework 4.6.2  on all exchange server
second i need to install Cu17 on all Exchange Server as per below

2 Mailbox Server
2 Hybrid Server
2 Edge Server
Please suggest as per last query

any special care for Exchange Server for upgrading to cu17
.NET Framework 4.6.2 is not supported with Exchange 2013 CU15 or older.  So, if you install 4.6.2 before CU16 or newer, you may break Exchange.

Upgrade the non-Edge servers before the Edge servers.
we are going to upgrade from cu13 to cu17

so before cu17 we need to install .netframework 4.6.2 ? right
No.  You didn't understand what I said or review the Exchange supportability matrix previously provided.

To summarize, install a supported CU, then install .NET 4.6.2.

Again, the CU install will tell you if a prerequisite is missing and stop the CU install before it begins.
supported CU means ??

so you mean i cannot go directly from cu13 to cu17

Hello,
