The AD password reset endpoint was a poor fit for what people actually
need this server for. Replaced with a realistic Zerto post-failover
example that's much closer to the project's purpose:
- Update DNS A records for failed-over hostnames
- Wait for the VM to come up at the DR site
- PowerShell-remote into the VM and check / start critical services
- Notify Teams with the result
The flagship pattern is now: Zerto post-script (curl, fire-and-forget)
calls an Async webhook endpoint -> 202 in milliseconds -> Zerto's
failover sequence is never blocked. The server runs the actual work in
the background, with full output captured in the daily log.
A ready-to-use Zerto-side script ships at
scripts/examples/zerto-post-failover.ps1 - pure curl.exe (no
PowerShell modules), reads the bearer token from a file the ZVM
service account can read.
The installer now bundles scripts/examples/ alongside docs/ so the
example is also available locally at
C:\Program Files\WebhookServer\scripts\examples\.
Removed: docs/recipes/ad-password-reset.md.
Updated: docs/README.md, README.md, the recipe content itself.
