Why each option
When physical console access is unavailable in a datacenter, RDP allows an administrator to remotely access and configure a Windows OS over the network.
An Integrated Lights Out (iLO) manager is an out-of-band hardware management controller used for firmware updates, power control, and pre-boot BIOS access - not the standard tool for configuring an installed OS remotely.
Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) provides a full graphical desktop session over a TCP/IP network connection, enabling OS-level configuration without a physical monitor or keyboard. Once the server has basic network connectivity established, RDP is the standard Microsoft protocol used to remotely manage and configure the running operating system.
VNC (Virtual Network Computing) is a cross-platform remote desktop tool, but it requires a VNC server daemon to be pre-installed and running on the target OS before it can be used.
A KVM (Keyboard-Video-Mouse) switch is a physical device that shares local peripherals across multiple servers and does not provide network-based remote access to a server in a datacenter.
