Get-TagAssignment/Remove-TagAssignment fails

My code:

$csv = "C:\Downloads\a.csv"

$category = "environment"

$Tag = "critical"

$CMDBInfo = Import-CSV "$csv"

ForEach ($item in $CMDBInfo)

{

     $Name = $item.Name

     Write-Host ".... Assigning tag "$Tag" in Category "$category" to VM "$Name" "

     $vm = Get-VM -Name $Name

     Get-TagAssignment -Entity $vm -Server (([uri]$vm.ExtensionData.Client.ServiceUrl).Host) | where{$_.Tag.Category -eq $category} | Remove-TagAssignment -Confirm:$false

     New-TagAssignment -Entity $vm -Tag $Tag -Server (([uri]$vm.ExtensionData.Client.ServiceUrl).Host) | Out-Null

}

Resultant error makes me think the Remove operation is failing:

.... Assigning tag  critical in Category environment to VM OITAutomate01

Try with $_.Tag.Category.Name

Not sure why you have the Server parameter on the Get-TagAssignment cmdlet.
Are you connected to multiple vCenters?If not, just leave it out

Get-TagAssignment -Entity $vm | where{$_.Tag.Category.Name -eq $category} | Remove-TagAssignment -Confirm:$false

Yes, $_.Tag.Category.Name resolves the issue. Thanks once again for your expertise and help!
