If you use a console appliction in Visual Studio and your using a server with UNC paths, CMD is not able to recognize the location. I feel this a defect as many programs are console applications and forcing the use of a mapped drive is not the best idea on the planet. I think Microsoft can fix CMD easy enough to be able to see a UNC location. Its not that hard. Vote if answered or helpful, I am running for Office (joke)!
