I had some UNC issues though, when I start lyx from cmd,

CMD.EXE was started with the above path as the current directory.
UNC paths are not supported.  Defaulting to Windows directory.
configure: TeX engine needs windows-style paths in latex files

I forced lyx to start with -userdir "C:\Documents and
Settings\hicham.mouline"
then that works perfectly.

Makes sense. LyX does not play well with UNC addresses, so having your home directory for LyX on a remote server is tricky. If you map the server directory to a local drive letter, I think you'll be ok.
