    I'm sure it was not supported till recently but looks like there is no mention of it in the document. You may give a try

    Azure does not support DHCP running on virtual machines. In fact, broadcasts are not transmitted on vNets, which prevents anything that relies on broadcast from running on virtual machines.

    DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol Server) windows server role is not supported in Microsoft Azure virtual Machines. Please see https://support.microsoft.com/kb/2721672?wa=wsignin1.0 for more info.

    Also to add, it doesn't have a static IP defined. If you defined a static IP through the Azure PowerShell  but the DHCP server software still sees it as 'dynamic.'Please see https://support.microsoft.com/kb/2721672?wa=wsignin1.0 for more info.
