How to script the schema and/or data from database objects?

Recently, I have been facing an requirement to replicate the same data structure from production to a testing environment in a VM machine. And the data in the production db is too large to be hosed in the VM and only the schema is of more interest for my assignment. Therefore, I did some research into how to actually replicate a database schema from one place to another, which put it another can be referred to as "publishing a database".

A complete answers lies here, but for now I've only tested Microsoft's official "database publishing wizard". Strangely, this wizard does not officially support SQL Server 2008 version yet.
