This can be done with Custom Sensor WinOSVersion

WinOSVersion gets the Windows OS version of the specified computer.

-c=192.168.1.1 [-s=Remote Registry service name] [-u=domain\username] [-p=password|passhash]

The "-c=" parameter is used for the IP-Address or host name of the computer to query.

With the "-s=" parameter you can supply the name of the Remote Registry service on the target computer. This name varies for different OS languages. I.E. for a German OS this would be -s=Remote-Registrierungsdienst.

Optionally use the "-u=" and "-p=" parameters to provide credentials for accessing the Remote Registry service on the target computer.

The custom Sensor can be downloaded from this page
