The following query will enable you to list all the tables in your database that doesn’t have an IDENTITY Column:

SELECT SysSchemas.name + N'.' + SysTables.name     FROM sys.tables AS SysTables    INNER JOIN sys.schemas AS SysSchemas    ON SysTables.[schema_id] = SysSchemas.[schema_id]    WHERE NOT EXISTS  (    SELECT 1 FROM sys.identity_columns AS IDCol      	  WHERE IDCol.[object_id] = SysTables.[object_id]  );
