Take a look at Redgate's SQL Data Compare utility...it has a fully-functional trial version that you can use. If that is not something you can use - then you will be left with using a linked server and building queries using EXCEPT.

SELECT * FROM dbs1.dbo.table EXCEPT SELECT * FROM remote.dbs3.dbo.table;
