Default Batch file blocked

Hi.
I want all the users in my organization to receive a batch file (*.cmd)
and run it.
It should copy files from a shared file server.
The problem: Outlook blocks all CMD files.
Please advice,
TIA

Another way around this that would not expose you to potential security
problems is to put the .cmd on a network share and then send a link to the
file for your users to go get the batch file and run. Include instructions
with your email.
