CompTIA Network+ (N10-008) — Question 220
An administrator would like to allow Windows clients from outside the office to access workstations without using third-party software. Which of the following access methods would meet this requirement?
Answer options
- A. Remote desktop gateway
- B. Split tunnel
- C. Site-to-site VPN
- D. VNC
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The Remote Desktop Gateway allows secure access to Windows workstations from outside the office without the need for additional software, making it the best choice. Split tunneling and site-to-site VPNs are primarily used for different types of network access and do not directly facilitate workstation access. VNC is a third-party software solution, which does not meet the requirement of avoiding third-party applications.
