Prevent reset of password on VM?

I wouldn't put that statement on the Internet. You pretty much just guaranteed that at least some people will never use your product.

I assure you that you're completely misunderstanding. I run a multi-tenant cloud platform. We offer Zerto as DR for clients. They have no access to it - it's fully managed. One of my clients wants to migrate SOME of their VMs to THEIR Azure environment. As a result, I'd need to put a Zerto receiver in their subnet/network in Azure. They own the account, not me. No one is putting data on their VMs "about other clients"s. The problem is that with Zerto, when peered, you can see the "VPGs" or "groups" of protected VMs. You can't access or deduce what the VMs are, but I don't even want to afford the possibility that someone could see that I have another client with a VM named "JAU17814571408" hence my concern. The ONLY way I could make this work is if I could deploy a VM in this Azure portal that is immune to the "reset the administrator password of the VM" option of Azure, which it appears I cannot. You clearly don't understand that this has nothing to do with VM data - its merely showing "this Zerto appliance is replicating VMs called X to some place" - I don't even want to risk that. So, I digress, unless there is a way to remove the "reset admin password" on a VM, I am going to have to first migrate this client to a standalone VMware cluster and vCenter and give them their own Zerto environment just for this effort... which I've done before but am merely asking about.
