Powershell bulk creation - error with UserPrincipalName

What error do you receive when creating a test user manually?
New-MsolUser -DisplayName 'Harm Test' -FirstName Harm -LastName Test -UserPrincipalName Email address removed -UsageLocation NL
Because this should work if you have the domain added to your tenant of course 😉 (I just used the above syntax and my user is there)
New-MsolUser -DisplayName 'Harm Test' -FirstName Harm -LastName Test -UserPrincipalName Email address removed -UsageLocation NL

New-MsolUser -DisplayName "Lars Larsen" -FirstName Lars -LastName Larsen -UserPrincipalNamelars . larsen @ DOMAIN . dk -UsageLocation DK -LicenseAssignment kvikkastrup:STANDARDPACK
