How does one map network drive from windows service?

I'm trying to map network drive from windows service, I use batch file for executing the following command

NET USE U: \\192.168.55.6\folder password

While executing batch file either in service constructor or in onstart event, drive is not mapped?

        Process process = new Process();
        process.StartInfo.FileName = System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName(System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location) + "\\MAP.BAT";
        process.StartInfo.CreateNoWindow = false;
        process.Start();

  • All issues solved by using Map Network Drive (API) to map network drive. I map required drives while OnStart event of service.
