Explanation

RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol) is a Microsoft-proprietary protocol built natively into Windows. No third-party software needs to be installed on the Windows server to accept RDP connections - it is a built-in Windows service. A Linux machine can connect to it using clients such as Remmina or FreeRDP. VNC and NX (NoMachine) both require third-party server software to be installed on the Windows machine, violating policy. X11 forwarding requires an X11 server on Windows (e.g., VcXsrv or Xming), which is also a third-party install. RDP is the only option that requires no additional installation on the Windows server.
