yes, can use capture capability create base image can use deploy other machines from. take @ these instructions: http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/virtual-machines-capture-image-windows-server/.
this assumes referring windows server machine. also, assumes sysprep won't affect software have installed. if sysprep cause problem them might able take copy of underlying vhd , spin different machine copy. both methods explained in article here: http://community.adxstudio.com/blogs/shan/2012-06-28-cloning-windows-azure-virtual-machines/
