The key part of the above is "same user".

Usually, all you have to do is start jvisualvm.exe, and it will automatical=
ly find the all the Java processes currently running and show them in the l=
eft pane.  Unfortunately, on Windows, this doesn't always work when the one=
 you're interested in is a service, even when that service is running under=
 the same account as jvisualvm.  Whether or not it works seems to depend on=
 the Windows version, applied patches, how much it's locked down, and who k=
nows what else - another Microsoft mystery.  If you can run Tomcat from the=
 startup.bat script, using VisualVM should be fine, and it may work with To=
mcat as a service.

You do need to install the JConsole add-ins for VisualVM, or just use JCons=
ole instead (all of the above comments relating to Windows service issues s=
till apply).
