Copy columns between tables in different servers

Question

Recently I moved to SQL Server 2012 from SQL Server 2005. Current scenario worked without any problem in SQL Server 2005.

1)Connect to server A

2)Open table X

3)Copy 3 columns(Clicking on Arrow in the designer and copy)

4)Connect to server B

5)Open table X in server B

6)Paste the columns (default values, descriptions and other things are transferred automatically)-again clicking on the arrow

On SQL Server 2012 I can copy columns between tables only in the current server.

How can I achieve it between different servers? Is there any setting or something?

I'm really annoyed by this one. I worked for years like this and became a habit of mine.

EDIT: I'm trying to copy columns definitions.

Answer 1

One method to get the column definitions is to create a script and use the script on the other server.

In the Object Explorer navigate to the table that holds the columns. 
Right Click the table and select Script Table As. 
Select Create To. 
Select New Query Editor Window. 

This will generate the SQL to create that table.

Select from that SQL, the column definitions you want and save the script. Execute the script on the other server.
