The machine account will authenticate as the "Null Logon Session" via NTLM,
that is a nice way to say that the machine is not authenticated at all.
If the remote server can be as open as
"allow anybody to authenticate against it with no credentials" then you can
do that.
Please research the consequences of the Null-Session before thinking that
it would be a solution.
