Capture stderr output and check ERRORLEVEL. A sharename is also needed. See the output of the NET HELP USE command.

net use \\computername\sharename password /user:username >"log.txt" 2>&1
if NOT ERRORLEVEL 1 goto NetUsePassed
echo ERROR: NET USE failed.

:NetUsePassed

On my PC, which I am currently logged in, I can execute...

net use \\localhost user:Gwen > C:\TEMP\output.txt

Which produces the following text in the output file...

The command completed successfully

Note that I did not pass the password to the command.
