Got this error after moving %JENKINS_HOME% to a UNC from a local directory. Any idea how to fix this? We use Windows server 2008 and it seems like there is no way to do hard link to a UNC under Server 2008. Has anyone ran into this problem?
All the build tools are stored under \\UNCPath\BuildTools
%JENKINS_HOME% = \\UNCPath\JenkinsHome

cmd.exe doesn't support UNC paths. You have to use PowerShell instead.
