However, if the company policy states that users cannot install third-party tools on Windows servers, RDP might not be enabled on the server.
VNC (Virtual Network Computing) is another protocol that can be used for remote desktop access, but it is typically not used in enterprise environments due to its lack of security features.
NX (NoMachine) is a proprietary protocol that is similar to VNC but offers better performance and security. However, it requires installation of third-party tools on both the Linux and Windows systems, so it would not be allowed by the company policy.
X11 is a protocol used for remote graphical user interface (GUI) applications on Unix and Linux systems, but it is not typically used for connecting to Windows servers.
In summary, while VNC, NX, and X11 are all remote access protocols, the only one that is likely to be allowed by the company policy and can be used to connect a Linux GUI to a Windows server is RDP.
