Why can I not use RDP to connect using a blank password?

Hello.

I currently have a Windows 7 system configured with integrated account activated and configured with a blank password.  I also disabled the group policy setting that restricts the use of blank password (use of local account passwords empty to console logon only limit) and enabled RDP using the less secure version.  On my XP system that would allow a user to connect to the system using the administrator account and password empty without any problem.  However, it does work on my Windows 7 system.  If I try to log in it tells any error but logon immediately invites pop upward.  If I assign a password to the account so everything works fine, but this isn't an option for our production systems.
I recognize that there is a potential security risk.  However, suppose that the creation of a password is not an option.  Is it possible to make this work, as it did in Windows XP?
Thanks in advance.
