    Have you tried https://www.powershellgallery.com/packages/ZertoModule/0.9.13

    Import-Module ZertoModule
    Set-Item ENV:ZertoServer "ZERTOSRV"
    Set-Item ENV:ZertoPort "9669"
    Set-ZertoAuthToken -ZertoUser "ZERTOUSER"
    $VPGID = Get-ZertoVPGID -VpgName "TESTVPG"
    $ZertoVpgCheckpointIdentifier=(Get-ZertoVPGCheckpoints -ZertoVpgIdentifier $VPGID)[-1].CheckPointIdentifier
    Start-ZertoVPGFailoverTest -ZertoVpgIdentifier $VPGID -ZertoVpgCheckpointIdentifier $ZertoVpgCheckpointIdentifier

    This is what I’m using but it doesn’t work against the source site, I can’t test against the target at the moment but it should work.

    The issue has been resolved.

    I was sending the parameters with wrong names.Correct parameter name is ‘CheckpointID’ . I was using ‘Checkpointidentifier’.

    $json=”{"CheckPointId“:"144321”}”
