It sounds like you are trying to use Azure as an infrastructure provider, which runs a VM where your builds happen.

This is not a particularly good use-case for Azure. Azure is a platform to run your custom-built applications. While it does provide VM's similarly to Amazon or other IaaS cloud providers, those VM's are "stateless", can go up and down at will and meant to act as application servers where more than one can be up at any given time.

You can probably get this to work on an Azure VM but I am not sure if the pain would be worth it.

Azure's instances are application servers, not "windows servers".
