The system cannot find the specified drive in Jenkins

Question

I want to copy some files from a network shared drive (mounted at my local machine as drive Z). I have written a Batch file to copy the contents of Z drive into my local drive. This batch file runs successfully on cmd, but i am having issue when i trigger it through Jenkins. The Jenkins gives the following error:

"The system cannot find the specified drive"

Any help regarding this, will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Nouman.

Yes Jenkins uses different login credentials. To map a drives through Jenkins use below command in Jenkins command prompt:

Subst U: \drive\folder

then after that your queries.
