My problem is that I need to run a custom cmd file after the build. Instead of modifying the deployment scripts I just want to run few MSDOS commands to my deployment easily.

The task I need to do is to run a cmd at the repository located at /source/copyextrafiles.cmd after the build succeeded.

How can I achieve that?

At the azure portal on the CONFIGURE tab of your website add a "app settings" entry called POST_DEPLOYMENT_ACTION with the value of source/copyextrafiles.cmd Save and the next deploy will run the cmd for you after the deploy.
