does anyone kwn how i can use a single user alias in a.d ?

I believe there is no such thing.

Quote from "Understanding Active Directory Services" (William Boswell,
Addison-Wesley):

Standard LDAP Classes and Attributes in Active Directory

The Active Directory schema includes all RFC 2256 classes, except
for Alias and Strong-Authentication-User, and all attributes, except
for Aliased-Object-Name. The exclusion of Alias was deliberate.

Aliases are a notorious source of performance difficulties and
integrity problems in directory services. In addition, most of the
object classes that would normally be given aliases are required to
have unique names in Active Directory. This includes Users, Computers,
and Groups.
