On the contrary, the user at domain style of username is a normal part of a
Windows AD ("user principal name"), for example see

"In Active Directory, each user account has a UPN based on IETF RFC 822,
Standard for the Format of ARPA Internet Text Messages. The UPN is
composed of the user logon name and the UPN suffix joined by the @
sign."
