Can a Windows Active Directory user have aliases

active-directoryaliasuser-accountswindows-server-2008

I've just created a simple AD on our Windows 2008 r2 server. I've added a few employees into that directory.

Now, is it possible to create some aliases for a single account.

eg.

name = foo.bar@contoso.internal / contoso\foo.bar

but the user can also log in as

contoso\pewpew

Is this possible?

Mark's right, to the best of my knowledge. You can login with your SAM username in your domain, and you can login with your UPN. You've already identified those in your question. There's nothing that I've ever read that indicates any support for additional username formats or aliases.
