Invalid value specified for property 'groupTypes' of resource 'Group'

I am new to Azure and I am trying to create a dynamic Azure Ad group through PowerShell by following below cmdlet:

New-AzureADMSGroup -DisplayName "GroupName" -Description "Des" -MailEnabled $False -MailNickname "Mail" -SecurityEnabled $True  -GroupTypes "Dynamic"

But I am getting the below error:

New-AzureADMSGroup : Error occurred while executing NewMSGroup
Code: Request_BadRequest
Message: Invalid value specified for property 'groupTypes' of resource 'Group'.
InnerError:

I am following this Microsoft Document:

New-AzureADMSGroup (AzureAD) | Microsoft Docs

I tried to modify the command like below:

New-AzureADMSGroup -DisplayName "GroupName" -Description "Des" -MailEnabled $False -MailNickname "Mail" -SecurityEnabled $True  -GroupTypes "DynamicGroup"

But it did not work. I am still getting the same error.
