Find VMs with no NIC

I am working on finding a method to find VMs without NICs (like vCLS) and apply a tag to them.  But not sure how to find that with a Get-VM.

You can filter with a Where-clause, and then use the Tag-Assignment on the VMs that pass through.
The Tag I used is just an example, you could use any tag.

$noNIc = Get-Tag -Name NoNIC

Get-VM | where{(Get-NetworkAdapter -VM $_).Count -eq 0} |
New-TagAssignment -Tag $noNIC -Confirm:$false
