I'm logging to Ubuntu server via RDP the default environment on that server is Xfce how can I switch this environment to gnome3 which is already installed?

Keep in mind I don't have access to the login screen.

On MY Ubuntu 16.04.4, I would stop the xfce service and start gdm3. See man service, and use sudo service --status-all to make sure the xfce service is running, then: 

sudo service xfce stop
sudo service xfce status
sudo service gdm3 start
sudo service gdm3 status
