Strictly speaking the CN contains what the client sends. IIRC in the MMC you
can also independently set what's in the CN. If you don't enter a value
explicitly the default value is composed as you describe it. But I have
customers who put the username in the CN in their AD domains (which I consider
good practice to avoid name clashes).

=> there should be all possibilities feasible
