√ Locate devices via hostname
√ Create remote policy modifications like:
○ Password Strength and Length (e.g. 10 characters: 2 upper, 2 numbers, etc)
○ Limit Invalid Login Attempts (e.g. 3 retries before drive is wiped)
○ Rate at which password should be changed (e.g. every 30, 60, or 90 days)
○ Change user password
√ Create user groups
KRMC Compatibility
There are two versions of KRMC that you can use to manage your drives:
• KRMC Enterprise Edition - KRMC is hosted on the customer’s own server
• KRMC Cloud - KRMC is hosted on a Kanguru server
The Kanguru Defender V2 is compatible with both KRMC Enterprise Edition as well as Cloud.

Kanguru Defender Manager V2
2. Kanguru Defender Manager V2
Kanguru Defender Manager V2 (referred throughout this manual as KDMV2) is the client application
preloaded on the Defender V2’s CD-ROM partition. The user needs to login to KDMV2 in order to access
the secure, encrypted partition. KDMV2 comes pre-installed on your Defender V2. No installation on
your PC is necessary.
2.1 Running KDMV2
The Kanguru Defender V2 is compatible with multiple operating systems. Steps for launching the
KDMV2 application can be different depending on the operating system that your computer is running.
2.1.1 Windows Users
To run KDMV2, simply connect your Defender V2 to your computer through a USB port. When you
connect your Defender V2, a CD-ROM partition and a removable disk partition should appear in My
Computer. If you are running Windows 7 and do not see the removable disk, please refer to page 8 in
this manual.
The KDMV2 application should start automatically.
If KDMV2 does not start automatically:
1. Open My Computer and open the Defender’s CD-ROM partition. The drive letter (e.g. D:, E:, F:)
will depend on your computer.
2. Double-click on the KDMv2.exe file to start the KDM application.
Caution! The KDMv2.exe file needs to remain on your Defender V2’s CD-ROM partition at all times.
Always run the application from the CD-ROM partition. Do not try to copy KDMV2 or run KDMV2
from your computer’s local hard drive.

Attention Windows 7 Users
Attention Windows 7 Users
Windows 7 users may not see the removable disk partition until you have logged into KDMV2 (see
section 2.3 Logging into KDMV2 on page 17 for more information). This is normal.
If you are running Windows 7 and for any reason need to see the removable disk before you log into
KDMV2, you will need to configure Windows Folder and Search Options. Note: This is user preference
only. There is no need to configure Windows in order to use your Defender V2.
1. From My Computer, click on the Organize tab and then select Folder and search options.
2. The Folder Options window appears. Click on the View tab and then scroll down to the option for
Hidden Files and Folders. Select Show hidden files, folders, and drives.
3. Click on the OK button to finish configuring Windows. The removable disk is now visible before
you log into KDMV2.

Mac Users
2.1.2 Mac Users
To run KDMV2 from Mac OS X, connect your Defender V2 to your computer through a USB port. A
CD icon ‘KDMv2’ will appear on the desktop. Double click on the KDMv2 icon to open it.
In the window that opens, double-click on the KDMv2.app file to launch the KDMV2 application.
Caution! The KDMv2.app file needs to remain on your Defender V2’s CD-ROM partition at all times.
Always run the application from the Defender V2’s CD-ROM partition. Do not try to copy KDMv2 or
run KDMv2 from your computer’s hard drive.
Note: The KDMv2 icon is not always displayed on the desktop. If you do not see the KDMv2 icon
on your desktop, you can locate the KDMv2.app file in the CD-Rom partition through the Finder
window.
