Powershell user creation script

Question

I have created a user creation script using powershell and everything works except the attribute "ipPhone"

Can anyone tell my why i Can't add the following line?:

$Mobile = Read-Host " xxxx " 
$ipPhone = Read-Host " xxx" 

New-ADUser -ipPhone "$ipPhone"

It works for

-Mobile "$Mobile"

But it dosent work for ipPhone? Do I need to use Set-ADuser instead?

Cmdlet New-ADUser does not have a parameter called ipPhone.
You can set it, but then use

-OtherAttributes @{'ipPhone' = $ipPhone}

If you use Set-ADUSer, you will need to do

-replace @{'ipPhone' = $ipPhone}
