I am trying to troubleshoot an issue with credential scanning of a Windows 2012 Server using Nessus and one of the troubleshooting step is to run the following command from an elevated command prompt.
net use \\x.x.x.x\ipc$ "" /user:""
It says its trying to see if we can access the IPC$ share without a username. This is understood. However, I'd like to know what is the meaning of the "" between ipc$ and /user:

It's the user's password.
Where "" means there's no password for the user you specified.
You can drop this part, and type the password manually.
check net use /? for more.
