Something like this:

This one works:
read-host "User" | get-aduser$inp = read-host "User" get-aduser $inp
$inp = read-host "User" get-aduser $inp will not work..
$inp = read-host "User" | get-aduser will work. It will not return anything because the result is saved in var $inp
If you run $inp , then you will get the saved value..
$inp = read-host "User" | get-aduser will work. It will not return anything because the result is saved in var $inp
If you run $inp , then you will get the saved value..

Exactly
To complete the answer:
$inp = read-host "User" | get-aduser
is the same as
$inp = (read-host "User" | get-aduser)
and not
($inp = read-host "User") | get-aduser
Another way to execute is
get-aduser (read-host "User")
$inp = read-host "User" | get-aduser
is the same as
$inp = (read-host "User" | get-aduser)
and not
($inp = read-host "User") | get-aduser
Another way to execute is
get-aduser (read-host "User")
$inp = read-host "User"
get-aduser $inp
do it at the command line or in a script.
