Do some research about WMI, Windows Management Instrumentation. Also try WMI Code Creator.

Don't write code yourself until you know it's working on a basic level, WMI Code Creator (or Wbemtest) doesn't make programming errors.
RPC error could be a firewall issue. Also verify that RPC and WMI services are running on remote computer.
