Unable to start process from powershell

Folks

I am trying to invoke a batch script from a power shell file and the invocation works fine if executed manually. 

   Start-Process C:\USR\test.bat

However i created a service in C# which is able to delete and write logs using the powershell script however it simply ignores this step and nothing happens. Is it because this script is invoked by a windows service ?

if (Test-Path \\xxxsharepathfullper\FileWatcher\target\watcher.mon) {
echo "File removed" >> C:\USR\logger.txt
Start-Process C:\USR\test.bat
Remove-Item \\xxxsharepathfullper\FileWatcher\target\watcher.mon
}
else {

}

Check access rights on a share, maybe your admin user don't have rights to access it.

You can try run the process as administrator and log any error:

Start-Process -FilePath "C:\USR\test.bat" -RedirectStandardError "testError.txt" -verb RunAs
