here's the situation:
We have an older Winserver 2012 VM that we want to migrate to 2019. This VM has a bunch of IIS / ASP sites that were written by an intern about 6-8 years ago, and apparently need to remain functional under the new environment. We see pretty much every Visual C++ Redist installation ever available on the original server, and are wondering how we determine which of them are necessary.
So, I have a twofold question - Is there any harm or security concern with having all of these installed on a server? And Would there be any way to determine which of them are required, save for manually inspecting each sites file system?
Admittedly, I never used ASP much in my web dev days. If this question is way off target, I will delete it.
