Do you have the other database set up as a linked server? There is a product we use called SQL Compare by Red Gate. A two-week fully functional trial version is available. It will let you compare every single aspect of the schema, including extended properties, indexes, constraints, triggers, etc., or you can tailor it to which components to compare. As long as SQL Compare has access to both databases, it will function.

Of course, the 'quick and dirty' way would be to generate scripts for both databases as a single file, and then use a regular text-compare tool to find differences (e.g. Beyond Compare, etc.)
