T-SQL Query to find List of Tables that do not have Primary Key

We know that Primary Key is a must for setting up articles in Transactional Replication.
This query list those tables which do not have Primary Key in that database.

USE <DatabaseName>
GO
SELECT SCHEMA_NAME(schema_id) AS [Schema Name], name AS [Table Name]
FROM sys.tables
WHERE OBJECTPROPERTY(OBJECT_ID,'TableHasPrimaryKey') = 0
Order by name
GO
