You can use WMI in a VBScript program to retrieve information like this from
remote computers. Start here in the Technet documentation:

http://www.microsoft.com/technet/scriptcenter/guide/sas_cpm_overview.mspx

For example, here is an example to retrieve name and version number of the
OS:

Ok I tried it.

Local ok but on a local macine I get the message that the computer
doesn't exist.

Remarks:
The pc is on an other location with ip 192.168.5.2
I am on the pc with ip 192.168.2.3
We work with vpn lines.
Is this the reason

You will probably have to run the scripts from a machine on the same network
as the machines you are trying to get information from.
Can you type \\ipaddress\c$ and get the C drive of the remote machine
mapped?
