Emacs goes to the right directory. You can test that with C-x C-d and
giving a UNC path.  But CMD.EXE cannot use a UNC path as the current
working directory, that is a limitation of CMD.EXE, not of Emacs.

It might help if you explain exactly what is failing. Your previous
message only mentioned that you get a message, it did not say that
anything actually failed to work.
