Linux command to know system configuration

I have only hostname of the system like - innpbr. Does any Linux command exist which can give the system config of this machine? Like command <hostname>

The machine is internal to our network. At least it can tell whether it is a Windows or Linux machine.

Perhaps you want

uname -a

See uname(1) for more.

"System configuration" is really vague; perhaps Linux Standard Base is relevant. Perhaps try the  lsb_release command.

If you're looking to remotely identify information about a machine (without logging in) you may try using nmap with OS & Version detection.

nmap -A 10.0.0.x

That'll show you a bunch of information, including operating system and information about services running with network access (like ssh, sql ect.).
