Need help with net use for logon script

Hi! I'm trying to make a logon script for a WindowsNT PC. I'm trying to have it connect to an NT server using a specific username. The problem is that the username does not have a password. I used the following line in the script:
net use \\server /user:domain\username
The problem is that it still asks for a password even if it doesn't need one. At the dos prompt, i just hit and that works but its suppossed to be in a logon script so no user-interaction. Can anyone help?

Hi Christoph!

Thanks! I tried your suggesstion but still asks for the password...

Could it be because I'm trying to connect using a domain account but the PC isn't joined in the domain?

Why not just give it a one character password?

didn't you hear the guy, he was asking how to do it with a BLANK password !? as far as I can see I dont think you can do it, unless there is an undocumented special character for specifying a blank password.
