DirectAccess ISATAP - Manage Out Issue for Azure VM

We have a DirectAccess solution and have only recently configured the ISATAP router for "Manage Out" capabilities, principally for ConfigMgr.

For some internal management servers this has worked seamlessly, the ISATAP configuration has applied and we can now manage those DirectAccess connected clients (RDP, etc.)

ConfigMgr/SCCM has proved a challenge. This server was built in Azure and despite picking up the config for ISATAP router it's not picking up an IPv6 address on the ISATAP interface.

Tunnel adapter isatap.reddog.microsoft.com:

C:\Windows\system32>netsh interface isatap show state
ISATAP State : enabled (Group Policy)

C:\Windows\system32>netsh interface isatap show router
Router Name : directaccess-ISATAP (Group Policy)
Use Relay : default
Resolution Interval : default

I would assume this is connectivity from the Azure VNet to the DirectAccess. I've added inbound and outbound whitelisting for the DirectAccess servers in Azure and even tried a whitelist for the IPv6 address subnet that is reported on the internal LAN/WAN servers that work.

Could it also be a Windows firewall issue with the SCCM server? Any suggestions?
