When I try to see visualGC in visualVm, it says "Not supported for this JVM" and the soln I found is 

run jstatd -J-Djava.security.policy=tools.policy

and when i run this command, i get 

C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_45\bin>jstatd -J-Djava.security.policy=to
Could not create remote object
access denied ("java.util.PropertyPermission" "java.rmi.server.ignoreSubClasses"
 "write")
java.security.AccessControlException: access denied ("java.util.PropertyPermissi
on" "java.rmi.server.ignoreSubClasses" "write")

soln to this issue is jstatd oracle link, but this link says
It is not currently available on the Windows 98 and Windows ME platforms

I am attempting to connect from local machine to remote server Windows2003 JDK 1.7 is what I used for visualVM and Visual GC

please help!

The issue was bit different, the reason I am getting 'Not supported for this JVM' is because the app which I want to profile is a windows service, thus the visualGC tab shows 'Not supported for this JVM'. What we done is , took the .exe file and run it on console with -run as param, and it ran as normal java app, and thus able to see visualGC tab

The doubt i have is , we did not ran jstatd(my app was running as windows service on windows server 2003), so how come we are able to view the VisualGC, contrary to what I see on the internet and acc what I have written in my question

    You don’t need jstatd for local JVMs and even for network connections there are possibilities to create JMX connections without it. But if your application runs as a service, it usually runs under a different user account. So a normal user can’t connect to it via local JVM discovery for security reasons. – Holger Nov 12 '13 at 12:33
